Modification you're too scared to do?

I think face modding would be something I'd be too scared that I'd mess it up to actually do. I'd get worried I'd make my doll too asymmetrical by accident. xD;

I think I'd be pretty comfortable with restringing or sueding a doll if I really needed too. I also agree with others who posted here and would me much more comfortable doing some more extreme mods on a cheaper doll. xD;;;

 

The only thing I'm really comfortable with right now is restringing--but even then, I still need help doing it >_<;;

I reeeally want to learn how to do certain body mods, like Angell Studio's Phoenix mod. I'd also like to learn how to paint tattoos, too. But I'm too scared of messing up :'D

 

Any additive body modification scare me! I've done some additive modifications on my dolls' faces but body modifications scare me in general.
I wish I had the guts to try, It would make finding bodies for some of my floating heads less of an ordeal but I rather not. Bodies are so much more
expensive than heads to begin with that I think it's better not to try, than regret flushing $$$$ down the toilet. All the dolls I own have been discontinued,
so it scares me even more to think about trying body mods on them. Facial modifications don't scare me too much anymore, but replacing a discontinued body
would be a royal pain in the gut.

 

Sanding and sueding... I'm so clumsy... I hope I'll never have to.

 

I also want to sand down one of my doll's noses, so it isn't as pointy... also suede some joints in my Miyu. I've never done either of those before so I'm nervous of messing up s:

 

i really want to mod some of my single jointed doll into double jointed but I'm terrified that I'll just ruin the whole doll...

 

I've been interested in making augmented limbs but for that I'd never do it on the original arm/leg. I'd have to MAKE a matching one to destroy just in case something went wrong or if I ever needed/wanted to resell. XD it'd be interesting as a commission idea; gun/blade arms and cyborg limbs made to order XD

 

I want to buy a Dollfie Dream and dye it tan or fantasy colors, but I'm scared to do that. Spending so much on a doll, taking the internal skeleton completely apart, dunking everything in dye and hoping it all turns out right... and then putting all those little pieces back together. Eek. I've seen really nice DD dye jobs, and vinyl seems to dye very smooth and even (unlike resin), but I'm still too chicken.

I'm also scared to do airbrushing... I bought a cheap airbrush a long time ago, but I haven't used it yet, even when I really needed it. I'm scared it's a really crappy airbrush and it won't do a good job, it'll be difficult to learn to use, etc. And I don't want to pay hundreds for a good airbrush and all the equipment it needs...

 

I would be terrified to carve into my doll. I think I would be brave enough to try anything else, but carving is just so permanent. Also, adding anything to my doll that has to be color matched to the resin is something I wouldn't do. I am THE absolute worst person when it comes to color matching, oh my god.

 

I'm terrified to do ANY modification. I think i'll just stick to sewing and furniture making

 

I am scared to do any mods to my doll. I have no talent when it comes to art. My hands shake a lot too so that doesn't help. It also doesn't help that I am blind in one eye. I am even afraid to take them apart to restring them as I am afraid I won't be able to put them back together. I wish I had some artistic talent to be able to do faceups or even sew clothes for my dolls not to mention do all kinds of cool mods but I don't have that talent and I would hate to ruin an expensive doll.

 

Drilling or carving..nope, nope, nope, I'm too clumsy!

 

I've done three face-ups, and my latest was terrible, to the extent that I never want to trust myself with one again.
I have seen people take female bodies and mod them to make shorter, slender males, and that would be great, but I'd be way too scared of damaging the doll beyond repair. Same with scarring, though I've seen some beautiful mods like that. *Sigh*

 

It's pretty sad, but I'm too scared to blush my girl's hands. >__<; After my very unsuccessful attempts at faceupping, I'm pretty doubtful that anything I do to her hands will wind up looking terrible! I hope I can overcome my fear someday, or at least get up the courage to send her hands to someone competent.

 

I would love to be able to give my doll(s) more diversified noses (wider bridges especially), but I am not a good sculptor...

 

When I was sueding one of my dolls today, I remembered one of the mechanisms to keep his headcap on is broken... I've always wanted to fix it with epoxy, but I'm too scared. >_< It's supposed to be a little circle that a knob goes in, but part of the circle broke off. Maybe someday... T_T

 

I'm nervous about dyeing my Dream of Doll when I get him :/ I want to dye him gray for a character doll, but it's a scary thing-- what if it comes out uneven?
