Thanks for all of those suggestions. You're right about being busy for awhile!
One question though, when you say that you have taken off an eye brow here and
a mouth there how did you accoplish this? Do you use the blade to literally

the blade to remove the paint? Perhaps a dremel tool? LMK how you are
removing paint without dulling the plastic underneath, if you could be so kind.
Thanks,
Mark
