Rugged Realism

me too, i'm so thrilled
i hope that she and her family are doing ok, that is a massive amount of boxes and parts, so incredible

 

Me too, can't wait to hold him !
I'm sure they'll be relieved when all the boxes will be away

 

I've got my shipping notice too! I wish everyone short transit times.

I also managed to photograph Seacan (Epsilon) today, so here's a photo tax. Helene's sculpting is just wonderful.

 

so beautiful

 

Wow ! I love his faceup.

 

Oof, I probably never posted my guy on DoA forums after all...? A quick snap of Ted. I still cannot correct the hideous preset colour settings hubby's Iphone camera has, so enjoy the Green Guy.



Sadly no new arrivals here - I love the face sculpts of Lamento and Erato and was going to get both, but translucent resin is not my cup of tea and the caster couldn't provide solid resin, so I'm just lurking around for all of your new guys.

 

My 65cm Tresno landed yesterday! He's a fantastic poser and just gorgeous to handle - the attention to detail in every aspect of his sculpting and engineering is incredible. I really love the color of the Cinnamon resin as well; it's just a touch lighter than Volks Sunlight / Tan.

He fits in the generic 70cm clothing I have on hand, although the pants need to be hemmed. His feet are pretty wide, but thankfully EID shoes work for him! And I think 8" wigs and 12mm or 14mm eyes with 4~5mm irises are the right fit.



It's been amazing to watch the entire journey the Rugged Realism boys took from start to finish, and to finally have this guy in hand after wanting one for so long. Now I can't wait to get him painted (and shop for wigs and clothes that suit him a little better )!

 

Oh it was fast, where do you live ? I can't stop looking at tracking
Congratulations on your Tresno's arrival, does he have a name ?

 

My guy arrived yesterday!
I got him all put together and realized...I don't have any wigs for him.

So he's chillin. Still gorgeous. Haha.

And I was so pleased to discover he fits SD17 clothes. That opens a lot of posibilities.
He actually fit in one of my Volks suits that's very slim-fit, so not even the odd bigger things. Just the pants are long, as said above.

 

Thanks very much! I'm in the USA, and I was shocked at how quickly the parcel arrived... my local friends, who ordered at the same time as me, received their dolls a day or two later. I hope your doll gets to you soon!

I don't have a name for him yet, but I'm sure I'll figure something out once he has a faceup

 

Oh wow! These are beautiful sculpts and I do like the darker tans. I'm looking forward to seeing more pics of these dolls.

 

your guys' dolls are looking so so gorgeous!!! I'm just so excited for my Geneo to come home. I'm getting so impatient since he's caught in customs

 

I received my order a couple days ago, too! I can't wait for the faceup artist I want to commission to paint them to reopen for commissions again! Until then, I have a friend I've commissioned to help make them some clothes~

 

They attempted to deliver my head while I was at work. I'll have to wait till Friday for a redeliver, le sigh. He's in Cinnamon. At least he's arriving before the move...

 

Wow everyone is getting them so fast! I was a little slow paying my shipping, I thought it went through but i guess the page timed out. So I received a shipping notice that my order was shipped on Saturday. Tresno & Lamento in peach with one body ( they will fight for it.) The remaining head will go on a Shoushou doll body. (hoping it works and is a decent color match). I'm so excited for these body! It's been amazing watching the whole journey. Seeing the work Helene put into them, modifying them to her liking, the tragic disaster with the molds, surprisingly given a chance to order, and continued prayers for Helene's healing! They will surely be treasured art pieces for everyone. I'm so excited to see everyone's customizations as they come to life!

 

My boys arrived earlier in the week. I put Lamento (peach) on my LoongSoul 68 (imported yellow) and it matches ok—RR is slightly pinker.

The cinnamon color looks to be very close (a little lighter) than Iplehouse SRS.

Thought I would share in case some people only got heads for some possible bodies to explore.

 

Augh, my Erato got put out for delivery this morning but it didn't tell me until I was already at work. oTL

 

I now have a small cinnamon Aquilo (Garam) and a peach Geneo hybrid on a 73cm Loongsoul body (Jin Hyuk). I did Ji Hyuk's faceup today. What great dolls! Thanks to @VeraLyne for offering to get Geneo's head in her order!!!!

@VeraLyne , are these SID hands please ? Are they the right size ? I think I'd like to have an extra pair of hands with fingers a bit more "closed".

 

@wendymoira They are SID hands, and they are smaller than the RR hands, but I think they may be passable. The ball part fits pretty well. Here are some comparison photos I took of the two bodies and some swapping.

Spoiler: Fuller Comparison between Iplehouse SID and RR RoP

In some lighting, the two resins are very close, but in others the undertones are stronger. Again, caveat that my Iplehouse was from 2020, so the color has mellowed a bit from when I first got him.
