Re: Tools for modifying MQ's
LOL, just kidding. Actually since the weather has been nice and I can open the windows, I took a little break from everything and did some stripping, er...eh... paint stripping that is.
Fiona came to me with some impact damage and some bad paint problems. The paint on her hands was severely bubbled so I needed to strip them completely. The paint came off so easily that I decided to just go ahead and strip the whole mannequin!
So far I have her hands, left leg and head done... It's really sort of therapeutic - a nice diversion from working at the computer all day.
The shiny white finish comes off quickly and easily in big hunks with the putty knife, but the gray primer underneath takes a little more scraping.
It's taking a while, but I think it's actually better than sanding the shiny finish and creating a layer of toxic Chinese paint dust throughout my apartment.
It's going to be fun to see this one transform from stark white to lifelike. This one will have a darker skin tone and more pronounced tan lines, silicone nipples and 3d printed eyes.

Re: Tools for modifying MQ's
I found that the little mini hack saw came in real handy to cut the back of her head off.
Just drilled 3 small holes and connected them to make a slot big enough to insert the saw blade and then the saw worked great to make the straight cut around the head. This is a great little tool for making straight cuts in fiberglass.

The Dremel was used to finish out the eye holes...

My first post ;-)
I am always curious where this thread is going ... its just THAT awesome - well, at least in my opinion.
While I certainly lack the skill( and maybe also the imagination and discipline ) to modify my Mannequins in any way - and knew this before I even considered buying one - this thread nevertheless was the one that got me started to go out and buy ... some
So even though I cannot provide any additional input on modifications I felt I should make my first post here nonetheless, hope that is ok.
Thanks for all the great input in threads like this one - esp. to MannequinFan

Thanks so much for your comments - that made me feel really good.
The mannequin forum has been a bit quiet lately, so if you have some mannequins to share we would love to see them!
After you have 5 approved posts you can attach pictures, so start a thread and show us your ladies when you can!

This really helped thank you.MannequinFan wrote:YAY!
After fooling around with a lot of different things, I finally found the ultimate technique for doing the tan lines.
I knew there had to be an easier way to do this. This is much quicker and easier than trying to blend with two separate sponges and it's much easier to control the line.
Not sure why I didn't think of this before, but here's the painting technique if anyone is interested:
1. The Quickie sponges are 4" x 3" - a little too big - so I cut them in half to get a nice 3" x 2" paint pad. I also trim the corners off to avoid getting sharp corner marks in the paint finish.
2. Dampen the sponges by soaking them first, then press the excess water out on a paper towel. They want to be just damp, not wet. Too much water will thin the paint too much and destroy the paint properties.
3. Using a couple of plastic spoons, dip about a half spoon of light color paint on one end of the sponge and the darker color on the other end so you will be painting with two colors at the same time.
4. Using a patting motion (don't drag the sponge) simply follow the line on the mannequin keeping the sponge centered on the line. With a few passes the paint colors will naturally blend together as you pat the sponge down and give you a nice blended tan line.
To do a tan line for a bra strap for instance, you would simply put a small amount of light color in the middle of the sponge and the dark color on each end.

Re: Tools for modifying MQ's
998 posts in between to be more specific.
And I still hold MannequinFan and the folks who invent and repair all the lovelies in the highest regard.
So I guess I might as well let this treasure of a thread resurface again.
All the best.

That's the tool I ended up going with to do the modifications to my mannequins. Easily drills a hole for the vag, I also used an attachment that came with it to pierce one of my mannequins ears with, too.
Here are some images of my Kristen with the modification. It's an original (uncut) Fleshlight inside her. In the last image, she's dripping wet with lube.

Re: Tools for modifying MQ's
Another question I would like to ask. This is for anyone. Has any body tried to modify a mannequin to have silicon breasts. I have been looking at ones you can buy that TV's use.
Thanks.

Re: Tools for modifying MQ's
If you are looking for usability, I would not recommend doing the mod the way I did on Sammie.
She was done mainly for realism and not for usability. She was nice for a visual turn on and for some "outercourse" play but not for penetration.
For usability, by far the best thing to use is a Fleshlight sleeve.
What mannequin are you looking at getting?

Re: Tools for modifying MQ's
Thats a really good mod. Is she difficult to use?
