By the way, my Evelyn is a Modded Abby sculpt from MA in Pink Skin, Large Bust, and a diffrent faceup than the company.
She used to look like this.

She came with with fangs, and an awsome faceup, just not fitting my OC. But she did not come with nor keep the jointed hands though. i removed them shortly after i put them on.

Pleaese, keep coming back to our little piece of Dollieness!

 

Can You share some photos of your lovely clear skinned BJD please? Three of us would love to see them, like share a link with some or somthing. Please? they could be new or old, but show us the body, and poses please!

 

[MENTION=64125]Faith In Beauty[/MENTION] thank you so much for your reply Your Evelyn is gorgeous! I've been considering the Jane head on 1/3 body with medium bust in transparent resin. It'll have to wait for now as I've currently got two dolls on layaway, but I'm very excited either way to have found more options for transparent resin, I love the stuff!

 

The jane head in clear resin? i think that would look lovely!
i have a doll i want to get but dont have the money yet. but thats how it goes.
did you see the post i told you about with the transparent resin?

 

[MENTION=64125]Faith In Beauty[/MENTION] I did see that post thank you and the body is stunning! I recently discovered a clear doll by another company which is limited to only 10 so I've put her on layaway, but I won't mention her here so we can stay on topic I decided to just do a general search for transparent dolls to see what else I could find and I came across MA on here so that's what pulled me in. The jane head appeals to be most as I like her square jawline, its just a shame there aren't more pictures of her. I'll probably order her in a custom coloured transparent resin which MA have confirmed will be possible so I'm stoked about that! It'll have to wait for a while though as I've got too many irons in the fire at present!

 

@beatnik
Thats soo cool! i really like the transparent resin. i just prefer the pink!

Evelyn - Waiting by Faith Bailey, on Flickr
THis one was for a BJD meetup around Christmas.
Her eyes are just stunning in her new faceup!
^.^

 

[MENTION=412]beatnik[/MENTION]: My Sherry should arrive within a few days. She'll be large bust with fully transparent blue resin. If you'd like to see how she turns out I'm happy to post pics!

 

[MENTION=67025]Volucris20[/MENTION] That's so exciting! I've seen your other posts about making a gelatinous skinned girl and had been waiting for her to make an appearance. I'm looking forward to seeing how their head sculpts work in transparent resin! Thank you for letting me know that she'll be arriving soon, I'll be keeping a very keen eye out for her!

 

Just bringing this thread back up as I'm curious about the resin match service MA provide. How does it work? Do you send them a part that you'd like to have matched or do they work from a photograph? I'd think that sending them a piece to match would obviously work best as resin doesn't always look the same in person at it does in pictures. I'm thinking of purchasing a head on the MP, but apparently the resin tone is hard to match and the company closed some years ago now so there's no way to just simply get hold of a new body.

 

Umm I also have a question. Serena arrived and there's a few issues. Firstly her stringing was so tight that it's caused some pretty major damage to one of her legs to break at the bottom. I'm going to need to send her (preferably just the broken parts of her if that's possible) back to be replaced.

I'd like to keep the in tact parts of her if possible so I can begin modding and seeing what works (on a positive note her sculpt, face and the quality of the blue resin is absolutely fantastic! Pics next.

Also, having an issue getting her unstrung to inspect and separate her various components. The ring they use to hold the stringing above the neck is totally closed. And virtually impossible to maneuver due to her tight stringing. How do people work with these rings with your dolls? I'll attach images to show what I mean in the following post (warning: nudity and large pics).

 

I won't bother with the picture of the breakage, that's between myself and MA. This is more to show you guys how she looks ^.^

Firstly: here's her face sculpt. She came with blue eyes but I've ordered glow in the dark yellow ones as per her character to give her a truly otherworldly look


Secondly: for a better look at her resin

 

[MENTION=67025]Volucris20[/MENTION] I'm so sorry to hear about the damage caused by the tight stringing! I hope you can get replacement parts asap!

But WOW she is absolutely gorgeous!!!!! That resin is amazing! I'm actually a bit taken back by how good it looks I can't wait to see your project progress and more pictures of your girl, she is wonderful just as she is at present!

I now know too, that I'll opt for the larger bust. Thank you so much for sharing your pictures despite the mishap!

 

@Volucris20
just email them and let them know the situation. ask if you can return the doll or just the broken parts. see what they say. if its the stringing, and you return and exchange parts, youll have to buy cord. so the body is an other option. i love how beautiful she looks. sho looks so fluid! so you went with the sugestion i made on MA? Im so excited! how did you get blue? if i may ask
she looks so pretty!
PS
for the ring try using pliers to undo the hook a bit i guess

 

Yeah I did go with MA ^.^ they were just what I needed. Very easy to deal with, price was amazing and they're very accommodating. To answer your question all I had to do was ask. They asked for an example of the exact color to confirm it was in their capacity to do and presto: blue transparent BJD

Also turns out if you contact them about breakages within a week of arrival they'll just make a new copy of the broken part and send it to you. No hassle, just a real pleasure to deal with. Also I'm just gonna get my own elastic cord and re do the stringing myself to simplify things, once I get the loop loosened up, I'll give that a go tomorrow. Should all work out just fine ^.^

And thanks guys for all your comments, you're right in that she almost looks good as she is now, honestly I'm not changing much. A bit of gloss and some watery (kinda dripping) detail and something for a wig and she'll be done! XD

 

Edited post. Was having more problems with the closed ring but we've made it work

 

[MENTION=67025]Volucris20[/MENTION] I hope you have managed to get your new limbs sorted out! I have a question about ordering. I have been quoted $277 for a custom colour 1/3 transparent doll. For the life of me I can't work out how to order that through their site as the value no matter what I do, isn't coming to the same total as the quote. Did you just send your order to them via email or did you submit it through the checkout on their site?

*Oops! I think I've now got this sussed. The custom colour option which comes to an additional $50 doesn't add to the total it would appear. I'm assuming then that you just checkout, add your description to the comments box and wait for your invoice. I think I'd still prefer to order via email though so I can get the exact colour I'm after!

 

Sorry I'm so late replying, I've not been online in a while. Honestly I didn't go through the site. Once I got my quote I sent the money to an account via PayPal, which they were happy with. The limb is said to be sorted but I'm still waiting for news on its progress. Anyone know how long such things take?

 

@beatnik
Have you gotten your doll yet?
id love to see photos!

Evelyn - I Found Leaves! by Faith Bailey, on Flickr
Evelyn found some leaves!

 

I couldn't be happier with the new MA high heel feet! I had so much trouble finding shoes for the default feet. When I ordered Sherry in pink skin, I decided to give the high heel feet a try. They are different from all my other SDs high heel feet. In a good way though. They are flat enough to stand in and wear all the SD flats I have. And the arch is high enough for her to wear all the SD heels I have. The toe nails have a more feminine sculpt too

 

It's decided- I'm getting a 1/3 girl body for my HTT Dolls Bambee head to be my lovely Suzuho! Is the white skin like PURE white or is it a little bit of a creamy color?
