So as you guys may have noticed in the last set of bikini photos of Christy her stance/posture was greatly improved and appears more natural and realistic than previous photoshoots. The reason for this improvement is due to a new Stance Modification. In the past I had struggled a bit with getting Christy to stand straight due to the fact that the neck bolt doesn't quite center her weight properly when using a hanging/gantry style stand. She always would lean too far forward and it made it difficult to pose her so that it looked natural. A couple of our great TDF members noticed this and provided me with some information and links to ideas for making a stance modification. I made one of the modification but wasn't happy with the end results. It did improve her posture, but it was so close to the body that it blocked her head from being able to go all the way back so she always was looking down, also it made it extremely difficult to put her wigs on or even adjust them.

About a week ago my good friend from the TDF community Dodgeman sent me a message about ideas for a new stance mod. If you've ever had a conversation with Dodgeman you would know that not only is he a very talented fabricator and welder but also that he is an all around great guy and is always very nice and helpful to the TDF community. Dodge came up with a fantastic design and wanted to know if I was interested in him building one for me. What he created was a masterfully built Stance Mod that was just perfect for what I was needing. It has many great features that makes this the best stance mods I've seen. It's built completely out of light-weight stainless steel so it doesn't need to be painted and you never have to worry about rust, its very light but extremely strong. The attention to detail is amazing, perfect welds and he smoothed and chamfered every edge to prevent any possibility of damaging the doll. The mod has various adjustable features so that you can change the height of the stance and fine tune the center weight of the doll. The Mod provides a large amount of space above and behind the head so positioning her head and putting on wigs is very easy. He made connecting the mod to the doll super easy by using a stainless T-bolt that requires no tools to attach. The mod can be taken apart for easy attachment to the doll or for compact storage. This is a fantastic mod that will last forever and Dodge deserves a lot of credit for how well my last set of picture came out and for all future photos I take. Bellow are several photos of the mod together and taken apart and also shots of it connected to Christy (click images for lager sized photos). Thank you again Dodgeman for this amazing mod!
