Hows the work going with your girl? Is it getting close to release time?
My girl, she's going pretty good. tweaking a bit on the elbow design, and will try to get my b/f to give her a coat of grey primer this weekend so we can see what needs more sanding. Still waiting for my new molding and casting supplies ~ I never knew I'd feel so lost having run out of resin!!! Plus I still need to seek out PVC pipe for the mother molds etc.
Boy you are the perfectionsit huh! I will have to order more resin too. I didnt know you used pvc pipe for the molds. Interesting.
I guess I am a bit of a perfectionist.. with some areas, and then with others it's kinda "that'll do..."
I haven't used PVC before, but have heard of it used so thought I would try it. I'll be cutting it down the middle lengthwise and then taping it up when I'm ready to pour. I should take pictures. I'll use pipe for your molds too and send the pipe when I'm done of course so you'll see how I did it.
I can see with the jointing its good if you can get the poses just so and still look goods . its a great accomplishment. There are so many BJD bodies that what to do if not improve on whats already there.
That sounds like a neat method!
