Little Rebel Doll Discussion - pt.2

If I had ordered a Noelle I was going to order the peach and use a oriental skin Dollstown 13 yr girl body I had. But thankfully found a buyer for body.

 

My Hachi is on the (now discontinued) Doll Chateau 1:3 Adult Female body (seeing a pattern here, lol) and my Jelle is on the Impldoll Idol muscular girl body. Lucia (Jelle) is still blank, but the proportions are good and Impl will do color matching on request

 

My Andre arrived from Spain. He was in Spain, then Germany, then OH and now IL. Made trip in like 3 days. I deleted some of the steps as there was a lot!

@animemom Holy Cow! what an adventure hes been on! I am glad he made it home to you though safe and sound!

This is my Kaylar! His name is Jewels. He's an astrophysicist. I have had him for awhile but I really like the looks of Andre. Thinking maybe one day I will have to get one.

 

Long time no update here. It's a little hard to find Kai's owner's photos (at least in my experienced before, the new photos especially).
So here is mine, my LR boys together. I received Kai (II) last month

 

@animemom Glad he's made it home safely. In the 19th c such a tour of Europa would have been de rigueur for any young man looking to be someone in the world!^^

@riezyoe @AkioMoichi What is it with the handsome LR boys and those gorgeous bright red wigs? As if they were made for them. Did you guys make the wigs yourself? I can't stop looking. I mean, not just at the wigs obviously^^

 

@Mandagore
Yes! I made his wig! It was such a pain in the butt though. I think (its been awhile) I used dyed goat fur. Im pretty sure this is Angora Goat fur. Bought it off of etsy. They have many many many colors. I usually am a yarn wig maker. So to me I think working with animal fur is SUPER HARD. I have made quite a few animal fur wigs now and I STILL cant figure out the best way to go about making them. But sometimes a doll requires this type of wig.

 

@Mandagore Yes, I made those wigs on them Kai should have use brown wig actually, but I've not making them yet orz

Another photo of Kai here

 

@AkioMoichi It looks great! Love those soft waves. I have recently tried out hard cap wig making using yarn, but found I really, really suck at cutting hair and turning it into a hair do. I messed up everything I had achieved so far^^ Thanks for the additional picture of your sweetie!

@riezyoe Those wigs give your boys a real cool, authentic look I think. Making short hair wigs is so hard! Red or brown haired, your Kai is a gorgeous boy.

 

@Mandagore
I'd suggest using an Eyebrow razor for yarn wigs! I couldn't cut wigs either until I bought an Eyebrow razor. Muuuuch easier to do layering, thinning, styling.

 

@AkioMoichi Thank you, dear. I used thinning shears and this razor blade knife thing hairdressers use, but I just had no idea how to cut the hair to achieve a certain style or at least make it look good. I also watched tuts, but they don't have that kind of hairdo specific info usually.. Maybe I'm just hopeless

Question guys! I have a normal skin kaylar head. And I want to get him a dollzone body. Does anyone have any comparison shots of the DZ resin normal pink or their normal yellow against/with the little rebel resin? I have found some photos on Google. But one photo makes it look like the dz normal pink looks better. And another makes the dz normal yellow skin look better. I'm at a loss. And maybe could someone inform me of more places that has good resin match? Thanks!

My Little Rebel Andre is called peach so he was closer to normal skin yellow tone then a pink tone, but he's blank so he will be done to match the body better. Good luck.
Oh and my boy is on a Dollstown 15 year boy body from 2018.

 

@AkioMoichi - My head is normal resin from before the current artist cast colours (which are not the same). It is yellow toned and the body in my photo is dfh normal yellow which is slightly yellower and darker than the head. Check the little rebel gallery, maybe it can help with comparisons. Gallery - Little Rebel Doll

 

my NS Aleksander is on a DZ PS body - here's a shot of him, head and body both unpainted

 

@animemom Thank you for the info!!

@xyuemoto ah yes I should have specified my head is the older resin color. Hes just a "normal" skin tone. OH Thank you for the gallery! That helps a whole lot!!

@Girrl Thanks so much! This is very helpful! Your boy looks amazing on that body.

 

Thank you, glad to be helpful! And because I adore how Hiro came together, he's another shot of him faceupped.

 

My MYou bodies in coffee arrived finally after over a year waiting. I am disappointed that the coffee resin isn't darker, but since my hands can't handle big dolls so much they are just background for the stories of my 2 main dolls. This is Lincoln and Kennedy who are Ethan and Jelle heads from Little Rebel and the smaller kids are the twins Harrison and Parker by Irrealdoll.
