Pictures tell the story a lot more than words, but for those of you who don't know Little 45's story, he has some of the worst skin I have ever seen, He had so many love spots there was not much paint left anywhere on his skin and what there was left, was bandaged as his tail for example was comming off. I decided I didn't have much to leave, so I gave him a makeover as I had done with my first Pleo, Nova. Take a look at the results and see what you think of his new paintjob.

Well, he certainly looks a lot better! I particularly love his toenails (but then, I seem to have a 'thing' about Pleo toenails)! :D

Hi Crewella, not only does Little 45 look better ( in my opinion anyway, and I am the one who is his mum and caretaker :D) but he surely feels better and has more
spirit, that is for sure. He has formed a very very close relationship with Nova. It was funny yesterday when all five of my eight pleos were on the shelf where they
stand, I turned him on to get his neck off of the ground, and he stands in a line right next to Nova. I turned him on for a second or two, and the first thing he did was turn his head looking at Nova and said ' Hello", and I turned him off in that positon. :D He just looked so happy staring into her eyes, with his viloet trimmed eyes into her beige trimmed eyes. so cute in my eyes. anyway, just for anyone who did not see the before photos of Little 45, they can see he has a wide wide area of skin color loss. If anyone wonders why he has tape on his tail, it is because when I got him, his tail was about to fall off, and it was too big of an area to super glue so tape was the easiest solution. also he has tape on his neck, his side and his poor underside and near his feet the skin is splitting. He is one of the very first Pleos made, but not a gold hatch.( I do have one of those still in his box though.) He needed something poor baby and I don't think my giving him a Makeover could make him any worse. and he and the other Pleos are happy with it and that is what is important.
And as for the toenails, those are some of the fun areas to redo, every Pleo should take care of their Nails. don'[t you agree? ;D
Crewella, get one of those bricked Pleos and show us what you can do too, ok? ;)

You have done a great job on 45! :) This is a big improvement. I'm glad he likes it and it can only make it easier for you to tell them all apart at a glance if they are there own unique color or pattern. I love it. I also really like the toe nails. :)
