Wook at da widdle kitty

Instructions - with elastic diameter AND recommended elastic length! (I wish this was industry standard.)

Puma pet doll with Type A head ordered blank from Iplehouse on Feb 23, 2024 and arrived today, which is less than 2 months (speed of light in the BJD world). 62 cm from head to tail tip and HEAVY. Standing when all the weight is in the center and the legs are on the corners is... difficult.

I plan to blush with airbrush acrylic paint. Iplehouse said they don't sell pet dolls blushed anymore because they had problems with the blushing not sticking to the doll. I find that airbrush paint tends to stick better than pastels, so... wish me luck.

Spouse saw me get the box and sighed. heh heh heh

He'll come around when I put kitty in his lap.

Making a Ramus doll now lol

The victims: Drew Carey body from the mid-late 90's and a Devilock Char Aznable body from the mid 00's. (Idk why my phone camera makes the Devilock body look so much more yellow than Drew's body, they are slightly different shades but not by that much lol)

Man I love it when dolls and action figures are held together with screws. :3 Makes hybriding sooo much quicker when I don't have to saw off the bits I wanna use.

I took this pic mainly because I was amused that Devilock put some kind of wax in the tummy joint for added friction/stability. I mean honestly there are worse options! Whatever works XD

The hips had screws, but they seemed to also be glued together. No prob, I like the Devilock butt better anyway, so I'm just gonna trim Drew's butt off and stick his torso on top of the Devilock hips.

Armssssss. I shaved a slant into Drew's shoulder holes as evenly as possible and greenstuff puttied the Devilock shoulder joint pegs in place. (It's a sloppy job don't look too close XD but I managed to preserve as much shoulder articulation as I possibly could with the tools I had on hand.)

Test fit...

More greenstuff and he's all stuck together! \o/

As you might be able to tell from the leg stance, I came up against a small issue with actually joining Drew's belly to Char's hips: both bodies were made before 3d sculpting and printing was a common part of toy engineering, so they're not perfectly symmetrical and have little quirks and imperfections from the master mold having been made off of handsculpted pieces. (One of those quirks is Char's legs seem to be slightly different lengths, and his buttcheeks are two different sizes. XD)

So I prioritized lining up the front over the back...

Eh, so it goes. I can live with it.

Next I need to find where I stowed all my little sample sized jam and honey jars so I can mix up some acetone goop to smooth the transition and cover the greenstuff. :3c

Then I gotta find a head to mod into Ramus, or start sculpting one from scratch...

Ahahahaha. The dangerous part of konmari-ing stuff but not getting it out of your life fast enough; I pulled both these bodies from my destash bins. ^^;; I pulled a couple more for other Lunar character dolls at the same time, actually.... >:3c

So here's my custom Clawd doll finally freed from wearing his Mattel branded rags since I had to finish what I could in Australia hastily. I really wanted to make him look distinct from Clawd's style, so Batrick ended up borrowing some TikTok vibes to his fashion using this starry fabric I had. I also made his top and pants as I don't like mixing prints lol.

I also ended up curling his hair as I didn't want him to have long hair, and I had this style in my head since conceiving of him. It took a lot of Got2b Glued to hold it in shape but I feel more confident with shorter hair.

Cursed Iowa fact: whenever a governor is sworn in, someone makes a porcelain doll of the governor’s spouse in the outfit he or she wore on Inauguration Day. That doll is then placed in a cabinet in the Iowa capital building.

An extraordinary collection of fine and rare miniature books, published from the mid-17th-century to the modern day. It includes books printed in France, the Netherlands, England, Italy and Germany, on a diversity of themes ranging from histories to works of scripture, devotion, literature, almanacs, and natural history. The collection boasts three 17th-century works, with the earliest being a Dutch song book from 1650 preserved in a charming contemporary vellum wallet binding, as well as a French book of hours from 1684 and an English bible in contemporary morocco from 1693. Many of the books are attractively bound in contemporary gilt morocco, others in gilt and blindstamped calf, decorative paper wrappers, silver cases, while some are contained within miniature wooden boxes as part of a child’s sewing kit. Some books are housed in cases with their own miniature magnifying glasses, and others are arranged on miniature shelves or cabinets, including a miniature revolving bookcase constructed by Julian Stanley of High Wycombe, commissioned by Lord Wardington and presented by him to Nanni Israel.
