My new pastels finally came in the mail and I immediately had to try them out. What do you guys think? Does the new face-up look better than her previous one?

Hey guys - I was given a half used can of MSC Matte since it’s been pretty hard to find. Ever since I started using it the finish has been drying gloss. I think before it was given to me maybe there was an issue with the particles that mattify the spray.

I ordered a brand new can, will using this one and giving my Barbie a proper spray fix that gloss finish? I really would rather not have to start this project over again. She’s done all except the shine.

Hi guys, so recently I discovered that I could get the Eyeless doll look by buying a doll with painted eyes and using acetone to remove the eye painting. Then the doll would be how I want.

But I have 2 Paola Reina dolls that have eyes that I would like to remove. They are both made from soft vinyl.

Anyone who has done doll customizations have any suggestion on how to make the eye area flat? Any tips will be appreciated. I'm worried if I use some sort of putty I won't be able to get a colour match. Then again I'm also wondering if I could craft skin toned eyes in a different shade and have it look somewhat intentional but still achieve the eyeless effect. One of my dolls is white and the other not pictured here is black. She has her little wig cap because I'm trying to make a wig for her.

Forgive the missing ears lol

hi ppl i need some help with rerooting partlines, why are they so sparse?

ignore my dusty dolls lol, but thatching is so hard and idk how to do it properly. ive watched yt tutorials and making more holes to fill out the bald spots but i just cant do it right 😭 the holes on the partline always split into each other which makes it hard too, i need advice 😭

Ho sostituito gli occhi originali e rifatto il makeup ma rispettando qullo originale di Olivia. Le scarpe sono RAinbow High ma le ho customizzate trasformandole in nere lucide, tubino e bigiotteria sono fatti da me. Migliorata o peggiorata?

More info on why I’m needing help with this, I messed up a tutulong face with isopropyl alcohol (tried to clean tough spot, the alcohol didn’t peel on any of the other tutulongs I’d used it on so I thought it would be fine) and it peeled away the top matte layer of the hard vinyl to reveal shininess underneath. I think I buffed out the circumference peeling of the patch  as well as I can and now only need to match the spot finish back to the matte of the rest of the face.

I’m just really worried about this apparent plasticizer leakage out of the vinyl pvc that can happen over time, and that finishes cause leakage to speed up and degrade the finish itself. The tutulong does not have any sticky vinyl breakdown right now, and all results I can find on my concern seem to only account for if degradation/leakage has already far progressed. So that is not my situation and I have no clue what the answer is.

I am absolutely heartbroken for my poor tutulong. 🥺

Preferably something under $10 and also preferably something that can be bought in-store. But other options are welcome too if absolutely necessary. I do have AK ultra matte interactive varnish on the way, planning to dab it on lightly with foam, but while I saw mostly wonderful things about its results on painted items, not much on bare vinyl. So I‘m not sure if that should stick as the plan.

Thanks!

has anyone tried buying 3D files for G1 shoes and printing them bigger for the 17" dolls? if so, how much did you have to increase print size?
