Over paid for it? I charged you about 20$ less than I was charging everyone else. The painting I did on it was of the same quality I've done for everyone else over the last 2 years..I didn't hack anything on it. I've not had a single complaint on any of my work from anyone and have had many repeat customers. And as far as the condition of the figure, I specifically told you what was wrong with the figure..You couldn't get a new one, I said I had one available that was my original mock up one, but he he was missing the one tail fin and the one elbow joint had a crack in it. That was it. You were informed of all of that, and you knew all of that. You specifically asked me not to add those finishing touches onto it so that you could do it. Just as you very well could have asked for anymore finishing touches. You asked me to paint him in the style I've painted all my Thundercrackers. And anyone who has seen my work knows I frequently post update pics, so it wasn't a case of just sending him out blind to you. Now I'm sorry I couldn't send any of the spray paint along with it, but it's against USPS law to send that stuff through the mail. It's a chemical. Don't try to make it out like I conned you on this or something. You paid for a figure that you knew the condition of, and still I reworked it all for you to make it look even better than it originally had. That's poor business.
