Re: How rough or sharp are mannequin seams?

Plus we have easy access to mannequins in Germany, which seems to be the mannequin capital of the world for some reason. Just be mindful that a lot of good deals on German eBay are unfortunately pick-up only ("nur Selbstabholung" in German). The same is true in the UK - it's so annoying!!...

Lighting tips and tricks

Apologies if this has already been covered, but I couldn't find it easily so I'm assuming if it's been covered it was a while ago (and my comments might be different anyway).

Customised Mannequins

Hi all, I'm a newbie here but I thought I'd post something about customised mannequins, as there seems to be a number of members who are interested in this, and even some who are involved and experienced in it. Firstly I'd like to ask, are people here interested in and/or attracted to mannequins tha...

Re: Mannequins

Okay so it only took me 7½ years to see this! Thank you guys for all your kind words about my mannequins :) I enjoy doing them and making them as sexy and realistic as possible. I've never done any customising "down there" though - it's so interesting to see what some people can do and hav...
