They actually very hard to do, you have to take it completely apart and put it back together. It think I would have ate it.

you can boil one, then put it in an ant pile for awhile, then when its cleaned out shine it up with some spray laccur and glue to a board with rocks or greenery. Is real easy to do and comes out looking good but the crab is red from the boiling and you lose all the natural colors.

You just have to paint it when you do it like that.
