Week 9-Tightened and Glued

Week 9 is at an end...I did receive my Mirodolls but the strings in them were quite thick and they were not in need of restringing. Mordarak and Dhorian ended up being fine as well, I must have restrung them when I first got in some new elastic a while back. Sooo I chose my Bobobie Apollo and a nameless Impdoll head on Resinsoul body.

Impdoll/Resinsoul Hybrid - Before

Well as you can see by the lovely photo this is what the new double jointed resinsoul body does with the thin string that they come with and no sueding. I had to hold her so she didn't fall over.

And After:

Yay! She can stand! I'm not entirely certain what size string that I used for her possibly either 4mm or 4.5. Still not the best  poseability wise as their MSD sized dolls but this just goes to show that sometimes it just takes a few little adjustments and patience to make any doll more poseable.

Fun little pose just because. There is no way that her legs would have stayed up like this with out the  hot glue sueding. You can also place covered wire, like electrical wire in the channels of the legs or arms and get even more poseability out of a doll. 

Bobobie Apollo - Before:

Er...uh oh...No worries he didn't fall like this I gently let him slide into this position when I was trying to get him to do this pose...

After adding thicker elastic and hot glue sueding I was able to get him to stand like this. He is not leaning on the back drop. 

And then he went smoothly into this position.....

Sitting/Reaching out to his feet - Before:

He leans forward fine but his arms kept dropping to his side...

When  I attempted to make him reach a little further he just flopped over completely...

After:

Leaning farther forward than in the before photo and his arms are reached out nicely trying to touch his toes.

And one last pose...my boy meditating in the lotus position...I was rather suprised that I could get him in this position. I never cared for the ball joint in his hip sockets, but because of them and the hot glue that I sueded inside the sockets he now looks more natural in his posing. 

That is it for Week #9. Next on the agenda is another Project Runway challenge on Den of Angels this one will be a fun one, be sure to view the details in Week 10 that will be starting on Monday.
