Dark Dollhouse

Done my very first modding today and rather proud – I managed to not wreck my expensive faceplates which I was really afraid I would. Drill gone of the beaten track, that kinda thing

So, looks like this, eyes will fit even though biggish and not much white shows, did check – had to carve out some of the resin on the back of the Sist faceplate as it was really thick and made it look like the eyes were sitting way back in the head.

Raz and Daz are taking shape!

So I bought this pack of 10 really cheap knitting yarns before Christmas with various colours and textures in it.

Two of these have now turned into respectively a short jacket with attached daggers and a long gilet both with hoods and inspired me to make two cyberpunk Unoas Raz and Daz.
One is a Street Samurai with magical abilities and the other one is a Street Hacker with paranormal abilities.

This is the short jacket with the daggers flat and worn by Cinnamon – well – she is my favourite girl ^^

So, have gone on the hunt for wigs and eyes and located both after some major struggling – why is all the stuff you want always sold out???

Pink and Green bob wigs found on Ebay with Linny’s help – I am apparently useless in finding anything on there.

Hair extensions in Yellow and Olive found at My little customs to add to the bobs to make them a little more interesting and cyberpunky.

And just remembered, bought some plastic tubing for making bracelets, think that would work well in the wigs as well. Have to dig that out.

Eyes had to be ordered from Masterpiece as I just could not find anything on the MP or any of the other respective doll sites that had any resemblance to the picture I have in my head of what they should look like. I am not sure they still are right but will find out once they arrive – Microchip and Metallic Fuchsia with feline pupil.

Fabric for clothes and accessories like belts and arm protectors is almost sorted and will be making boots for one myself using the Unoa sole option parts and the other will just have the high heel option. And got my mini eyelets and setters so all good to go for the corset part that one of them shall be wearing. And for boots.

Their faces will be customized sleeping Lusis and Sist faceplates so they get the asian look. Already sketched them out in pencil, still a little scared to actually start drilling.

Sketched up as to what I would like them to look like finished – scary!

And have bought some coloured eyelashes… hope it works… If not, will just leave them without. Not a big fan of lashes but might look good. We shall see…

Think that is it for now – now just for waiting getting it all home and see if it fits – if not – pooh!

It looks really good in my head but that does not mean it will when it is finished… Just hope all the colours actually match when the stuff arrives!!! Watch this space ^^

I just had my ransom note for my Unoa faceplates from Parcelforce and customs really are the most random place ever.

When I got the ransom note for the optional parts, which were less than the faceplates, I had to pay Import Duty as well as the VAT charge.

This time I have only gotten charged VAT which is more than last time but less in total including the Parcelfarce fee?

I am slightly, no acutually, I am VERY puzzled.

Perhaps one day I will call an ask them how they actually calculate stuff…

Preorder for faceplates are tomorrow and I might just wanna ruin myself getting some ^^

Saw this fantastic mod on YHJ! and so would like to try making something similar. Need a dozing faceplate to give it a go. Worst thing is, if I fail, I will have to wait another year to get another one lol. Oh well ^^ Patience is a virtue or something like that.

Box was left outside my door even though it said ‘signature required’ – Guess that is Royal Mail for you…

Rushed in to open it and found the faceplate to be exactly as I had hoped it would be: Pretty, pretty.

Completely forgot to take a picture of the unopened box because I was so eager to get it opened lol.

Now I am just waiting for my 1.0 body to arrive for her – wish it gets here soon.

Almost there…

She looks a bit like she’s got a toothache ><

Soooo Pretty

Finally had time to put a face on the first boy since unpacking them Saturday afternoon.

Hope eyebrows and lashes will look at a little less sharp when he gets some eyes in and a wig on…

Otherwise, think it turned out pretty well for a second faceup ^^

Used MSC this time instead of Testors and I think it might be better. I am gonna give Testors another run just to be sure – still got a couple of cans hanging around after all.

Can’t wait to put him together tomorrow.

First work, then play.

Has just been shipped!!!
