I was quite shocked today, as there was a knock on the door.. my Felicia had arrived
I opted for the lower cost ocean shipping with an eta of 6 or more weeks. It took less than 3 weeks, and no hold up in customs?
Speaking of which, i do not appear to have been hit with an import charge? ..although i expect a bill to arrive at some point in the future.
The box, which cotains 2 layers is on the large side, and it weighs a ton. Most of the weight is in the pillow's design base.
Other than a small mark on Felicia's lower leg and one of the cats featuring a green/grey smudge that covers the white paint around it's right eye, all appears to be well.
The statue ships with a large piece of card filled with pictures explaining how to put the statue together. Which is really helpful.
I would advise attaching the tail before attaching a portrait, as i found it impossible attaching the tail with the portrait in place.
While the white faux white paint applied to the cats is an original idea, i am not sure how cleaning it would work?
It makes sense not to allow dust to settle on the cats.
I will take some photo's later..
I am super happy with how the piece turned out
