Oh my.

franksolich just had a horrible thought.

Does one suppose a taxidermized nadin would make a good garden gnome?

Never mind; anyway.....

Painting plastic (resin) garden gnomes -

I have a bunch with the paint peeling on them. Has anyone here used those paints that are supposed to be good for exterior plastics? What kind of prep is required? Would it look too weird if I painted the entire gnome one color, like a dark green or brown?

Coach, a nadinized garden gnome would scare any pests to death.  So, in that regard, it would be effective.

That's the sort of thing TomInTib sold at the Tiburon trinket shop.

Against all odds, the place went belly up.
