My Size Barbie Modification

[Anushka]

Is this best done with fine-grit sandpaper, or is there some kind of solvent that can remove the paint without damaging the plastic?

Wishing I had a few pic of one that I modified 20 years ago. I don't remember it having a painted bathing suit, but don't use solvent, it will attack the plastic. Get a box of purple sandpaper at Home Depot and relax into the process. 100-150 grit? to large a grit will put scratches in the plastic difficult to remove.

I had used an epoxy paste, maybe JB weld to sculpt areola and nipples one at a time. The JB is very runny at first mix, but stiffens up after a while giving a long enough working time to get the right shape.. Now that I think of it, the areoles were done first, then nipples were fashioned and stuck on. Areola/nipples were painted, and I redid her eyes as well, she was cute. A hole saw was used, and a silicone vag installed.

Didn't have her very long, she was the size of a child And I felt weird about it.

I would have just used a hole saw

Did the OP of this topic thread disappear? Hopefully he didn't succumb to something dreadful and leave us. Another unfinished TDF topic thread.

Unfortunately you'll need to find one used as the 3' tall ones are not made anymore. The new ones are only 28" tall.
