Luts Model Delf 45cm (MDF) mature mini discussion part 2

Oh wow, Raven is gorgeous as an elf. Now I just need to figure out what resin color to get him in.

 

Has anyone ever tried kid delf hands on a model delf body?

 

Hmmm I haven't but I DO have an old KDF Romance body laying around somewhere, let me try to find it(it's in a box somewhere since we moved) and get back to you. I am thinking probably a little wonky because the wrists on the MDFs are smaller but I'll check for sure.

 

After admiring and wanting a Model Delf since they were first shown, I have finally purchased one! A strawberry pink Larimar will be 1 of 2 new dolls coming home after not purchasing any in like 5 years

It was actually really funny reading through all of the previous MDF discussion from the first post and seeing my old comments pop up

That would be so helpful thank you! I ordered a pair of the KDF heart hands and s hooks with my Larimar so it'd be nice to know how much or if any sanding will need to be done for them to fit.

 

@Serein Ooooh, Larimar in strawberry pink sounds fantastic! Are you getting the elf version or the regular one? They both have such cute faces. And the heart hands is a really cute idea if they fit!

I'm still working on trying to figure out which resin color I want my Raven elf in. I love fantasy resin so much. I'm also debating whether to get him with face up or not, I'm leaning no since I enjoy customizing my characters, but I do love Luts's face ups and I don't actually have one of theirs...

In the meantime, though, here's my Terra boy in lavender.

 

@Magnus Vale

I love him so much! Also that picture is very helpful in seeing the lavender shade. It looks very subtle.

I ended up getting my Raven Elf in Zuzu White actually. To pair him with my Lady Ghost in the same color. But I have to order Larimar Elf as a full doll to get her head in Zuzu White... It's frustrating but oh well. I opted for a type 1 body so I guess I have options later.

I wanted them to be an Elf couple for the world I'm creating for them. Alice(Lady Ghost) has her profile up already. Another character just shipped yesterday so I can get hers up soon too!

 

I decided to get the regular head. If the elf head had the open eyes, I think I would have gotten it. Luts always has unique and pretty elf ear shapes I love them so much.

I love the scar and blind eye on your lavender Terra boy! He's got a lot of character. I feel like Raven would look so handsome in gray or mint gray for the fantasy resin! Zuzu white or any of the tans too for non fantasy colors

@Kiarla Congrats on your elf couple! It's too bad that Luts doesn't offer the heads in anything but the white or normal skin. I guess it's because it's harder to match the other resins from other batches? But now you'll have three beautiful mdf's to pose together!

 

@Kiarla It's really a nice muted shade of purple, I really like it! And very cool! I'll look forward to seeing them when they come!

@Serein Fair enough, the open eyes are really nice! And thanks! I fell in love with the werewolf version of Terra when I first saw him, plus I was actually trying to shell a werewolf character at the time. I'm kind of debating on the grey, actually, one of my other elves is already in the mint grey, so I'm leaning away from that one. Tan is also very tempting though...

 

Wait they don't?! Aww man, there goes my plan for getting the Raven head for my Varis, I would have needed it in brown I wouldn't even mind if the color was bit different from the body. Guess I'll still ask their q&a board to make sure it's not possible but I guess if not then I'm just getting a body for Winter now that parts are available again.

 

Hello everyone.
I'm planning to order a Model Delf body in lavender skin. How is Luts lavender resin? I have a Souldoll Aehael in purple resin and it faded into grey, it doesn't look like purple anymore, which is sad.
@Magnus Vale Do you notice any colour change on your Terra boy?

 

Well, I haven't seen any fading or color changing on my boy yet! He's a lovely lavender color. I've had him for about a year now, and he still looks great. The picture I posted earlier was just taken last week.

 

Hi! I’m considering buying a mdf male body, and had a couple of questions:
1. I’m going to hybrid the body with a different head so that he matches as the boyfriend of another doll. If anyone has done this, I’d love to see height difference pictures I already saw a few but it’s always helpful to see different sculpts.
2. Which of the 3 bodies is easiest to find clothes/shoes for? I think the slender is the closest to minifee boy, but still pretty large compared to the latter, and I don’t see too big a difference among the 3… with my untrained eye xD So let me know if anyone has bought an mdf body and has anything to share on this subject, thanks!

 

@Serein I have returned after locating my extra old body! Right off the bat there's a minor compatibility issue, however I don't think it's a deal breaker, you may need to adjust the tension in the arms though. KDF (All but body 5) have s hooks in the wrists, while the MDF hands are two part (hand and ball separate) with a sculpted hook.

Spoiler: Hands Difference

On Doll is KDF Body and Hand, Loose is MDF hand.

Spoiler: Hook

KDF Wrist Hook

That being said if you do tighten the arms i think it will be an easy adjustment, the hands are quite similar in size and the ball joints are only slightly smaller on the MDF, you may not even need to sand at all, but might want to anyhow to make it a wee bit more fluid. I wasn't able to get a pic directly on the MDF as I didn't wanna mess with my tension but here's a side by side.

Spoiler: Comparison

MDF Left, KDF Right

I hope this helps!

P.S. yes I'm on the floor we have very little furniture to fill the new house and my doll area has nothing but the shelve they are on

 

@TheKidAbroad Thank you so much this was extremely helpful!!! I was nervous it wasn't going to work at all but I can work with this. Thank you again!

 

Pics of my new rosy brown Bliss. Also got a winking Xylon head in white currently waiting on a body, and am trying to hold myself back from grabbing an elf Larimar - I'd really like her in a fantasy color, but would probably only be able to afford the head, and only if one of my other heads I have up sells before then...

 

@Candycanes02 I have had two of the 3 MDF bodies (currently only own one) and they are significantly larger in scale than minifees. It's not hard to find clothes for them, they're still within acceptable 1/4 scale for clothes. The body I had was the muscular body and it would be the hardest to clothe due to the musculature. I currently have the slim body (not the skinniest) and he doesn't look bad in 1/4 clothes ay all. Some of them look a bit childish in scale/style but they fit.

 

Welp, my finances are awful this month, but I managed to grab Raven's limited elf head. I can get him a body later! Since the head is limited, but I can always get him a body later, I thought that was the best choice.

@monkeypizzasonic Oooh, Bliss looks so good in that color! He's gorgeous!

 

Hello! any photos and/or opinions of a model Delf head on a KId Delf body?
Thank you

Ordered Elf Raven in mint grey. I wanted an extra, non elf head but luts won't sell just a head in the special resin.
Still, really looking forward to having this boy at home in the next few months.

 

Oo so exciting~ I also ordered the new raven sculpt and I'm so excited to get him xD
