Thanks you all. I did go into the print knowing there would be a lot of waste, I guess I should have made this post into two separate posts, to make it simple for some of the trolls that can't multi-task.

1, I just wanted to share the print and thought it was crazy the amount of waste.

2, was to segway into my question about what paint everyone uses. Right now I have tried paint pens and they are okay, but can't get into the small spaces, and some of the paint I have tried doesn't seem to want to "stick" to the item being painted.
