You are very good at it! :)

SF that's another great classic pinup pose! Stockings look excellent. :thumbs_up:
Can't wait to see the PB outfit!

SF, looking at that photo I'm thinking the hand pose I sent you may not be the best for the look you're trying to get.
Might be better with something more elegant instead of the spread finger pose.
Maybe something like this would be better...

With MBL I can also lengthen the fingernails! :)
Cool, I'll take anything :)

Just measuring up and designing the PB outfit now...

Not gonna lie, this brought me back from the dead of a 4 year hiatus. I’m gonna get an MSB this week, and start saving up for a printer, because this is a must have! Got any other angles so I can see what I’m getting myself invested in?

Hey Ed, welcome back to the laboratory!
I'm glad to hear this project has stirred your creative interests!

Looks like I'm going to have to make some time to go through this with the MSB Samara sent me.
Perhaps I'll make a YouTube.

Here's another relatively inexpensive printer that has been getting a lot of good reviews.
Looks like a simple solid machine with an 8" cube print volume.
I think it can be had for less than $400 so it might be a good one to start with if you're new to 3d printing...

Thanks all for the warm welcome. I’ve been trying to keep myself busy, and in the last couple years I have some pretty nice pieces, i’d post pictures, but unfortunately the 3 dolls i’ve Been working with have a lot of friends in the art doll community and i’m Trying to keep a low profile on this website with more grand ideas. I do have some ideas worth sharing, as i’ve Been learning about and tinkering with doll parts in my spare time! If anyone is interested in scoping out my girls, feel free to shoot me a private message, i’d Feel a little more comfortable opening up in private lol!

Well, I’m officially $60 bucks in on this project. I picked up a Disney princess Belle from the local target, and i’m
More than ready to hack her to bits, but i’ll keep her in one piece until I get myself a printer, or a way to print these parts out. Needless to say, i’m Extremely excited!

Absolutely, to echo MF, let us know if you need help.

I'm now getting into costume design for her, hope to post her PB outfit shortly...

So far, it looks GREAT.

Alright, weird question now that I’ve got her inside. About how much of the finished project is original parts? I can see from the bits and bobs posted via files (which I can’t currently access as my computer is getting fixed) work in progress photos, and the finished genuine articles that there’s a lot of printed parts, and store bought parts. Just trying to figure out the magnitude of what all I’m looking at with this. I’m already in the brainstorming process of how I’d like her to look when she’s complete from a design standpoint.

That would depend on how far you want to take this.
If you just want to make her usable all you need are the parts posted on the first page (pelvis & upper leg printed parts, metal hemis & magnets) and you'd probably want the twisting waist parts I added a little later. In that case she'd be almost all original except for the pelvis. That way you could do your own thing on the rest of the doll or add parts later if you want.

Valid point, I definitely like the added joints, so I'm gonna try to take this as far as I can relatively speaking. Once I have my computer fixed and I start putting money into the 3d printer, i’ll Start posting more updates on it as we go forward. By then, there will probably be new ideas put forward I can incorporate into the design!

MSB can also give a pretty good hand job or leg job with no mods required.

So to continue, here are some prelim pics of the Playboy bunny costume for the modified My Size Barbie.

This was A LOT of work as I've never sewed before, so crash course on measuring / pattern making / using a sewing machine / etc etc. I went through
five (5) different patterns using online tutorials (didn't work), then purchased pattern scaled down (didn't really fit) before I went with the old saran wrap /
duct tape route and got the pattern down.

And yes, she has a tail.

The collar and bow-tie are prototypes so I'll probably redo them now that I have a basic pattern to follow. After that, I'll make
the cuffs and I was thinking of reproducing in miniature the actual Playboy Bunny cuffs as well as their ribbon name-tag (I've
been studying TONS of vintage PB Bunny suit pics...).

I have a pattern for the bunny ears, I need to source / fabricate a suitable head band, then will finish this off with mesh stockings so hope to
have this wrapped up by next week.

I think it came out OK, the black satin really pops with the Barbie "Neutra" skin colour - still have to finish off hair and redo the eye make-up.

And here's the next candidate for modification!

I'd like to increase the bust size as well as the leg length so will be in discussion with MF...

Articulation in the saggital plane would be nice but I think I'll keep that for the Chris Moore-inspired
gynoid I hope to design over the Xmas holidays. I already have that for my 60" female robot design
as her torso is silicon with servo operation but for the gynoid, I'm going to keep it to the scale of
the modified MSB as it's easier to make parts.

As always, more to follow.
