Angell-Studio Baby discussion part 1

I think I like the butter most myself. ^^ But what is the difference between the translucent and solid? Can you really see light through it or is it that you can see joins or something?

Thank you Zorua! Is the "pink milk" the new light pink?

 

I'm sorry but I'm not so sure either! I've only had dolls in the solid skin tones so far
I think the translucent colours have more of a glowy look in pictures? Does anyone with both kinds of skin types have any pictures to show?

 

Well, I have great difficulty getting the difference to show up, but I do have this pic of different color AS dolls. The small girl is Bella, she is in translucent white. My big girl Sarah (her name was Midori back then) is in the solid white and Julian, my Jeffrey, is in solid butter. Hope this helps a bit...

Translucent is like the french resin in that it's got a certain glow to it. I love it. It's the reason I went with AS to begin with. Not many companies offer the french resin anymore.

 

Very true! IslandDoll and Magical Angel offer it too, but not that many others. It lets the light through very nicely. Sadly, it does yellow a bit quicker than the solid colors.

 

1) You have beautiful dolls. ^-^ 2) Thank you so much! That does help. ^^ I find myself drawn to the butter color of resin. It really does look rich, like butter. X3

Do you find that your dolls are yellowing faster? And do you know if it yellows evenly or unevenly?

Um, same questions to you as well! ^-^ Have you noticed your french resin dolls yellowing and is it doing so evenly?

Thank you very much!

 

@Akutenshi - Thanks! Mine do yellow a bit quicker than my other dolls, both my AS French resin dolls and my two IslandDolls. My solid resin dolls from AS are a year younger than the French ones, so it might not be a fair comparison. But both my solid butter boy and my solid white girl haven't yellowed at all (had them for a year) and if I remember correctly my translucent ones had yellowed by then. And no, it's not even, sadly. The parts that are exposed to the light are a lot more yellow than the parts that aren't. It's like with humans, when you go in the sun the exposed parts will get a tan much quicker. The rest of them is sorta mellower than when they first arrived, but their faces and necklines and such are definitely yellower than the rest of them. I do have to add though, that for the first year and a half in this hobby, my dolls were out in the daylight a lot more than they are now (not direct sunlight as such, but normal daylight, whereas now they stay in a room with closed curtains).

 

I just got my girl so I can't comment on the AS yellowing... but I had a Dollmore Narsha in FR and she was yellowed... but it was even. And it was beautiful. I had to sell her for financial reasons and rebought her later on but she was in a normal color... I didn't love her nearly as much. I just love the FR so much.

 

Yellowing unevenly doesn't have to do with the type of resin, it has to do with each doll, as well as what you make them wear and the exposure to the sun. If you bring out a gal in a t-shirt and short pants, you can be sure their arms and legs will yellow faster.
I don't know how fast translucent resin yellows, but the extra hands my Yuma came with are pretty white compared to the rest of him, so I'd say they don't yellow as fast if you take really good care not to expose them to sunlight.

 

I did it! I ordered Cassie in solid butter skin with face-up. X3 Now the waiting begins! Thank you everyone for your help!

 

Ooooh! Congrats! I can't wait to see her!

Also, to add to the yellowing conversation-- I've had Momo (translucent butter) like... 9 months now and I haven't noticed any yellowing. But she hasn't been in direct sunlight really... or been outside... lol

 

I think I can comment on the yellowing lol.

My Vera is in translucent white (I just discovered, oh man I'm so slow) and she's really yellow (see my profile picture!). Which could be my fault since I had put her next to the window a few years back as I had nowhere else to put her.
Compared to my Momo, who's a solid suntan skin, she looks like a peeled banana.

Does anyone know any good deyellowing tips?

 

I don't know myself, but I did a quick search for you in the Customization & Maintenance forum and I found these threads!

I've had my transluscent pink boy for.. oh... a month and then some, now... and I think he's yellowed some. Not 100% sure on that, though. He seems to have taken a slightly yellowish undertone. It's very subtle, if not my imagination, like i said... not 100% certain. The doll itself was cast long before I had it in my hands, though, and the sun has been CHASING him. I have two windows in my room and I moved the doll shelf a few weeks ago, having noticed some sunlight reaching the dolls during certain points of the day. I see the sun creeping up on the dolls at noontime now too. Not sure where to put this shelf. Ricepaper covered windows w/ no curtains at the moment.... blocks the neighbors view from the outside in, but hardly blocks light and UV rays. I'm not afraid of what he'll look like yellowed.

 

Thanks so much, mysteriousracerj! I'll definitely check those links out!
My Vera's yellowing is really bad, she looks like sliced cheese.

 

Sometimes just wiping off the MSC/sealant is a huge help. I've had a few dolls that looked reallllly yellow but it was the MSC that was yellowed.

 

^ I'll gave that a try when I have the time. I want to get her a new faceup anyway!

 

Be sure to let us know how all of that goes!

 

Haha, deyellowing her will take a while.. I'm swamped with tests and exams! I will probably only have time to do so in June.
Bumping up this thread!! It's been so dead lately

 

Zorua, I bought a white skin doll from the MP (he's OT for this thread) and he was pretty yellowed. I cleaned him up with a magic eraser and then a bath in rubbing alcohol, then more magic eraser. I had heard that rubbing alcohol stops the yellowing process chemically, but I'm not sure if it actually helped or if my magic eraser scrub down did the trick. When I was finished, he looked a lot better.

I didn't know that french resin yellows faster than regular resin. I sort of wish I could have gotten my Gus in solid butter instead of translucent, since he's on a solid resin body right now. Even after I requested his head in solid, they sent me the french resin anyway. It's still a pretty good match, though and I love him to bits.
