My Kimmi's modifications are completed.

[genesis218]

Beautiful Kimmi has been upgraded. I started out by reinforcing all the seams (mainly the neck, sides, crotch, ect.) with Performix VLP Repair, three coats of clear silicone (Amazing Goop) on her lower legs so she can stand on hr own. glued movable arm socket in place so they won't pop out, sealed edges of nipples with VLP so they wouldn't peel off latter, install long french fingernails, a nude bodystocking so she won't feel like a vinyl doll with pussy and ass cutouts silicone sealed to the body, eye color changed (water based paint) to blue, added long eyelashes, cut her hair off and glued on a premium long blonde wig in place. I dressed her up in satin pajama's to cuddle up to, add a little perfume, and she's ready for bed time.

That's pretty clever! I toyed with the idea of trying to make some kind of super deluxe version of this doll too. I'd maybe think about reinforcing the wrists as well. I had a lot of leaks there over the years with mine. To a lesser degree the ankles too.

It's maybe too late now, but the one concern I'd have would be that if her body stocking is permanently attached, if any unexpected leak occurs it could be difficult to repair. I had 2 over the years (mine were the old school Hannah Harpers, but they're the same doll- pretty much at least as even my two Hannahs were slightly different), and my first one also was prone to leaking kind of in her "arm pits." It was on the torso side around the internal piece that held her arm on; I don't know why but the vinyl split a few times. It took me awhile to find the first time, but it was a super catastrophic leak as it was a long split (easy to repair though, so not a big deal once you find it), so after that I knew to check there whenever I had a monster leak. My second one never did that though, so it's probably an uncommon problem. The idea was just to prepare for the unexpected.

Check out his thread on the modifications that he did to his Cayenne Cleur. Sounds like he pretty much did the same exact mods to his Kimmi, and the Cayenne doll came out looking awesome.

Tried to post pictures but pixels are too high to accept the pictures and I don't know how to get around it.

If you are using Microsoft Windows, RIGHT click on the photo and select "open with" and "paint." When the photo is open select "resize." I usually resize to about 50%, more or less depending on how much cropping I do. Then save the resized photo. I recommend saving it as a different name to preserve your original photo.

Is Kimmi a different type of pvc, to China Dolls ??, because I tried to change a China Dolls shape around the shoulders, and put some collar bones on, using thinned RTV silicone, but once it had dried the silicone peeled off, I also tried the body stocking idea but used Liquid Latex to bond it to the doll, and once dry, that peeled away too, but I have noticed that where the silicone had lay, the pvc has gone hard.

I ended up cropping all the pictures so I hope they turn out OK.
