The New Assignment-Revamp a Doll Vehicle

Well, blogger is down, so this gives me a bit of time to think about the next assignment.  I was feeling a bit torn. I have some things I need to accomplish outside of Dolly U. Like customizing some doll house stuff I bought to be used for one sixth scale. Cutting legs shorter on the dining room table I got to have it resemble a coffee table, making more houseplants out of the greenery I bought.  Some rebodying, general cleaning and organizing, creating the backs for my doll apartments.  

So I’m going to take on a big project. Revamping that Barbie airplane. I’m giving myself two months. Yeah it's a long time but it's no small feat and the airplane hasn't even arrived yet.  But this project will be really involved, so I’m going to do several little projects in between.

I bought that Harley Davidson couple with the idea of giving the guy body to one of my impatient doll heads. But it doesn’t look right for anyone. I really wanted it for my Edward Cullen Ken but he’s too dang pale for any body I have.  So that body might actually go to June my tranny. But currently June is hairless as I’m preparing him for my first ever reroot. 

Anyway, I’m going to spend a while cleaning house first. 

But anyway if you want to join me, the project is Customizing a Doll Vehicle. I’m not using any tutorial but Kimono’s Townhouse Facebook Page  has helpful tips.

For my airplane, I’m inspired by the 60’s Airline culture so I’ve been researching that a bit. I’m also inspired by futuristic ideas. I can see us having an “iLife” future where everything is white and sleek and shiny like an iPod.  Where your light switch is like the touch wheel, etc.  I want everything white and silver and tangerine. Side note: Why is everything in the future either white and clean or gritty and sepia toned? According to movies that is.

Check out Aircraft Interiors International Magazine. Yeah, they have a magazine for that. Inspiring stuff.

I remember a while back I heard that Mariah Carey had wanted a really glossy glam hallway she painted it gold, but then she wanted more so she made her underlings go over it with clear gloss. Layer after layer until it positively glowed. I'm thinking of doing that for the interior.

But rest assured, there will be loads of other tasks I have for myself in between.

Oh, oh, I came up with a name for my airline. Pan Em. haha. It's a Hunger Games joke. Just go read the books. The will come out with Hunger Games dolls I'm sure. It's going to be huge. Who here is obsessed with Hunger Games?

This is such a sad, pictureless blog entry. Sorry guys.

  1. Sounds like an ambitious project---and I'm sure you'll make a good job of it! I've got a few cars on hand that need time in the "body shop" lol but no space at the moment to do them (My 1:6 garage/car collection is mostly packed up until I move and get re-homed) but I'm very interested in what you end up doing. Be sure to take before, after and during photos!

Zee Gypsies!

I'm home today, the kids are at school (half day), so I decided to take some pictures with my little window of time. I rarely show the gypsies and one of you guys requested it, so here they are! "Hello, I am Carmen Kirpachi. Welcome to our home." "This is my husband Milosh." "Hallo."  "This is my brother, Franco. While his gaje girlfriend Josephine is in Paris, he's spending a lot more time with us." "Excuse me, I have to put some more wood in the stove so I can get dinner started." "My goat stew is Milosh's favorite but we need to get the pot hot first." "This is my living area, also known as Franco's bedroom. But we don't mind. The Romany love having family around." "Milosh says I drive like a fugitive so he doesn't let me drive very often." "But sometimes I put a glamour on him and he forgets how much he hates my driving." ...

The Vinyls Hold Auditions

It's been a while since you've seen the Vinyls. They were supposed to perform at the Grandville Summer Festival but I got lazy. The Vinyls did perform in Grandville park that one time: Twilight Edward was the lead singer but his paleness has limited my body options and that makeup I put on him to darken him up will not hold up under the new camera, so he's out. Still, seedy, dangerous Grandville needs its band. So they held auditions for a few Grandvillians who were interested. First up, Marie. She and Zeke had great guitar chemistry. They never knew Blake had such a good singing voice. He brought a real trip hop element to their ensemble. His singing sounds like he's reciting a poem. And then came Raj Nirvana, belting it out and just feelin' it, man. The Vinyls felt really embarrassed for him. "I really like Marie," Aragorn urges. Bailey protests, "You just want to bone her." "Well duh." "Ma...

Introducing Nymeria and the Alurium Vaccarra

Ever have a couple of days off Facebook and though you wonder what happened to your friends over the long weekend, you can help feeling a little peaceful? That's how I feel in my week of staying off the blogs and forums and various sites. But I missed a lot! So many cool posts! It's going to take a while to dig myself out. One must wonder, did my creative spurt have something to do with not being all over the web looking at what everyone else is doing? Anyway let's get to it. So on my birthday, my three Stardolls arrived! Aside from the outfit, that Paris one was not cute. I dunno, she's too boring looking. But Iris was THRILLED that she got a new, dressed doll. Well for a few minutes anyway. Did you know that they can't bend their legs? Like they can't sit down? Terrible. Anyway, the other two were great! Inspiring. Meet Valentina. A Columbiana who restores classic cars. She was very happy with a Liv body. She might be Nadia's next girlfriend, w...
