I did the makeup and lashes on the other head. I'm a fan of strong makeup and excited that I succeed in doing this myself.

Take a look at this invention. I used a soldering iron to fix a doll's hand. The tube you see on the left is from a vacuum cleaner, to which I attached an activated charcoal filter at the opening. I held the tube next to the soldering iron, and it effectively sucked all the fumes into the filter! No smells at all! I had an air purifier running nearby, and its air quality indicator didn't change at all. I'm so pleased with this innovation! Now I can do these repairs inside my apartment, making things a lot easier for me.

Here's the result of my first quick repair test. I know it's not perfect yet, but with a little more time, I can make it look really nice. And powdering, of course, smooths out surfaces a lot. The most important thing is that now I know I can do these repairs. And it was much easier than I thought! Yes, I'm excited; I can finally get my doll in top-notch condition!

And above all, a big thanks to Docklandet for giving me an extra piece of TPE!

Safety first! Very interesting repairs. I've done a few minor repairs myself but only with silicone, which seems to be much easier.
Sandy isn’t tall (155 cm) but she has a big personality and towers over her 1/6 scale sisters. None of them will ever admit they are dolls.

That's what I've understood as well: silicone dolls are much more durable and easier to repair just by gluing. I'm considering my next doll, and I'm probably leaning towards silicone due to its reliability. Although I'm a DIY person and derive a certain satisfaction from these repairs, I wouldn't want to be doing them all the time.

Photographing your girl before she's had a chance to comb her hair can be dangerous... for you! :fist:

True, I should allocate time for hair styling before these photo sessions.

And someone should learn how to take care of and comb wigs. :whistle:

If you are having trouble with tangled wigs, try getting a Tangle Teaser. It works like a charm.

Thank you! I'm glad you like the pics, I'm also really happy with how she looks. Those new lashes and a bit of makeup worked wonders. She looks so hot now! Take a look at this beauty in bed:

And the lingerie on previous pics, I really like that too, but the amount of stains it caused was a lot :lol: But no worries, they faded away within a few weeks.
