The Doll Forum

Oh nice. I think this is my favourite of the 4 171C variants. If I can create a story in my head of "who she is", I may end up buying one! Especially as they're so impulse-purchase priced. (For a doll.)

Hey Reggster, those dolls are something else! If a little later on they start coming with implanted eyebrows and lashes, my wallet may be in trouble... :razz: While I was shopping Zelex recently, the 171C and 172E both made my shortlist... the 172E seems to be proving itself a popular hit on these f...

Well amazingly my doll's pelvis has held up fine now for a year near enough. My biggest issue has been the TPE not really holding together in the repair zones. When I've used heat to shape material into place, the results tend to be fragile. Eventually I started using up my little pot of TPE glue to...

I found a way to hide the doll stand without editing, covering it :D I was not sure what she saw, she started getting naughty 8O She looks stunning in all her outfits, KKFun. Your series has inspired me to go for a Zelex 170C myself. I wasn't supposed to get another doll for quite some time but... ...

The cut up white leggings look super-hot, I might have to steal that idea!

I'm loving those skin features. My first doll was TPE and those details faded fast, which is why I'm keeping an eye on Starpery silicone in particular - it just looks amazing.

The level of detail on Starpery dolls is breath-taking - face, body... teeth! Just wow. Definitely on my wish list.

Okay, quite a bit of practice later I've moved from "clueless welder" to "keen amateur", and welded her pelvis back up. :) The 2.6mm sticks were waaaay to thick ( burns clean though thin metal, no real joy with low amperage ), so, I sourced what I could from the local store and u...

This is an ambitious project, and I look forward to the results! The idea to recreate something like a proper pelvis is super cool, actually. Thanks DollPhilosopher. Admittedly I'm more used to working with polygons and having an "undo" feature, so this will be... interesting 8) Look. I h...

Oh, thanks for this recommended reading RevJack :) Glad to see your gal back on her feet, I'd be happy with that too! :glou: It's also a stick welding job for me on mine, and I've never done any welding in my life. Much YouTube later, I got a machine and some 309 rods (more versatile than 308 for M...

Using the roll of tape to create a surgical window is inspired. I'm taking notes!

Hi gang, nearly 6 months ago ( time flies! ) I broke my doll's pelvis trying to move her leg a bit... she has quite long legs (172cm tall, after all...), and I guess the leverage was too much after nearly a year's-worth of playtime. Crack! Oh dear. Well, eventually , I got around to extracting her p...

Just read the first two pages so far, shigowa68, and I gotta say you're saving my skin here with your photos and tools. My doll, a WM 172D has a shattered pelvis (the inverted U has shattered at the left corner weld that joins the tubes together, because of leverage putting a stupid amount of force...
