I do paint some of them. A few people who got the mystery cap are getting partially painted ones.

I don't know if it's just me, but your first picture of your Zombro looks a little out of focus, specifically the nose.

The focus seems to be more on the keyboard

Use the live view to properly focus, some cameras have a tendency to back focus so if that's what happened in the Zombro pic you might need to get a calibration sheet off the net and calibrate your lens.

If she's a college girl and up at state college then there is a lot of black lights. It's for highlighter parties.
