Time for another mannequin mod! (Fiona my crouching MQ)
Re: Time for another mannequin mod! (Fiona my crouching MQ)
Result? Well... it's not optimal, but it did stick better than anything I tried so far and did not react with the silicone. But it's not really strong and will possibly tear off if you're not careful. I talked to a chemical guy and he just simply put it: "Nothing sticks to silicone". I'm eventually gonna cover the whole mannequin in clear liquid rubber for a more durable skin-like surface so that will hopefully add to the "stick-ability" of the nipple

I'll stop hijacking your project-thread now, lol.

I always appreciate comments and info from others.
Just curious, is your MQ plastic or fiberglass? Is is that it's not sticking to the MQ or not sticking to the nipple?

Can the back of the nipple even be carefully sanded?

The nipples I have are very delicate - the areola is very thin.rubherkitty wrote:Would lightly sanding the back of the nipple and mannequin surface help?
Can the back of the nipple even be carefully sanded?
They actually stick pretty well to a very smooth surface - like glass. They are made with soft silicone that is somewhat tacky so they have a self adhesive property to them.
They have a recess in the back to fit over a person's natural nipple... I was thinking you could put a small round head screw in the MQ that would fit into this recess to keep them from sliding on the MQ when you rub them.
These things stick like mad to a clean glass table top, so it might actually be good to have a glossy finish on the MQ just at the nipple location to help the silicone naturally grab the surface.

Here is the skull cap attachment - nothing high tech here, just a couple of epoxy putty tabs to receive some #6 panhead screws...

Re: Time for another mannequin mod! (Fiona my crouching MQ)
The matte paint really brings out the beauty of the sculpt on this mannequin... This Behr paint is so good it almost doesn't even need a second coat. This is the 240E-3 Coronado Dunes color.
She's a bit tricky to paint. I had to put her down on her knees and head doggy style to do the adapter area and her backside, then flip her over and set her up on the stand to finish the rest.
Ouch! My poor old knees aren't used to this, lol.

Yes I've thought about that actually.dolllovingdog wrote:MF, Have you thought about putting a wireless speaker inside the head? You could then interface the speaker with a computer loaded with a chatbot or Virtual Assistant Denise.
There's been a few threads on that subject here lately.
The Denise Assistant looks pretty cool, thanks for mentioning that. It looks like you'd need to spend the $160 to get the platinum version to be able to add new voices and customize it though.
I really love the Ivona British English Amy voice.
Do you have the Denise software?

I think it's a bit too bright - probably OK for a smaller scaled down doll like Abby.
So the second coat will be going back to Sammie's skin color 230F-4 Autumn Malt (color chip on her back). The bikini tan lines are going to look super hot on this girl!
Here is the Teagan Presley Fleshlight sleeve installed...

Yep, she got sort of a brazilian body - nice round butt and small nicely shaped breasts.

Re: Time for another mannequin mod! (Fiona my crouching MQ)
I used the same paint as with Sammie: 230F-4 Autumn Malt main skin color, 220E-3 Melted Ice Cream pale skin color.
I went full strength with the pale skin color this time so the tan lines are more pronounced than they are on Sammie.

It's nice that painted on tan lines will look better than tan lines on a real woman as it is harder to maintain a good edge for a real woman. Especially like butt cracks & cleavage area.
