Iplehouse Basic YID dolls Discussion Part II

[cads]

Beautiful photos! Silvia can be so glamorous. <3

Madz, your Axis is quite handsome. ^^ Nice job on his face-up!

My Reid got a new pair of eyes.



I'm still waiting for the new body for my Ryushin . . . not the new YID body; he will be a Spiritdoll hybrid. Might be a while yet, though . . . .. LOL

Thanks Azha Nei! I went over to the Iple House site and voted for the type of body I would like to see on the new YID boys. I hope more people go over and vote!

[carmen171]

I just voted as well!!!!!

[Azha Nei]

I am glad to see folks asking for the SID heads to fit the new body, and for body choices. The initial plan is for one body I think. There's more of an investment in making two completely different bodies vs choices in a breast plate part, but if enough people comment they may change their minds.

I'm not sure how long she'll be around for so I think I'll be biting the bullet and ordering a gentle cocori. I've been searching the market place for months and have yet to find a lt. tan one.. Perhaps when I feel comfortable someone can assist me in dying? *nervous face*

Thought it was about time to add a little Rhiannon spam!

It's been a while since I've visited here. Any news on the New YID boy body? Mase NEEDS a new body soon.

[ZennoSaji]

Just the poll they put up a couple weeks ago. We'll need to give it a few months if they churned out the girl body in 4 months, and that was considered fast (not saying it wasn't).

Oh man...Well, I guess I will play the patience game until then. Thank you, ZennoSaji.

Hey does anyone have any advice when it comes to restringing the YID model boys? I got a YID Louis back in February I believe, but he's so horrendously loose I literately cannot do anything with him. I've been putting off restringing him because I hate restringing, but I really need to get it done haha. I've bought thicker elastic for him, but does anyone have any advice for getting the YID model boys to be posable? My poor boy has one pose, and that is the "limp rag doll" pose. I plan on sueding him with moleskin as well.

[Giodrakes]

For a quickie, you might try just tightening him by pulling up on the string in his head and tying it off when he's tight enough.
Other than that, only advise I have for restringing is:
Use 4mm string. I use the flesh tone from Dollmore.
If you have hemostats and some ribbon, they will come in really handy.
separate your left and right pieces for the arms and legs. It can be a pain trying to 'fit' them if you get them confused.

About getting them to pose... I don't know about you, but I am getting mine modded. I just keep forgetting to ship him to California *spanks own hand*

[PinkPlushii]

Just popping back in here to say I've successfully restrung my boy! The string that Iple strung him with was way too thin, I don't think even if I did tighten the knot he could have held a pose. The string I used was almost double the width. I believe it was 4mm but I don't recall.

Restringing him was quite an adventure though, let me tell you that. First time cutting my own elastic and I used his old string to measure, but the new string wasn't as stretchy as the old string so it wound up being approximately 1cm too short when I cut it. thank god I had extra elastic laying around. Which I then didn't cut at all so his head was on so loose it was like a bobble head and his head randomly fell off. So then I had my mom help me cut the elastic without having to restring him be pulling it out of his neck. We had to restring his torso anyway because the elastic snapped and went into his body. I stared in horror as he fell limb by limb ont to the floor. o____o;

Anyway with all that said and done, he poses great now! No more rag doll effect! He's held every pose I put him in so far. He's not even sueded yet! I probably should have sueded him before I restrung him, but it completely slipped my mind. Oh well. I don't think he even has to be sueded anymore.

Hi, this is my YID Lion.

[Azha Nei]

Lion's awesome! Great picture!

One of our local stringing goddesses has a trick about measure string. Something like the length of the doll, then a half more. I gotta ask her to write this down. She helped me restring Ronin and showed me, but I don't restrign often enough to keep it in mind.

[Gothic-Diurnal-Hime]

rosefitchcat: I love your YID Lion. And the tat on his head is really cool!
PinkPlushii: I'm glad you figured out how to tighten up your Louis. I second recommend the flesh colored string. I have a friend with a normal skinned YID boy and it's practically invisible against his skin.
Tonto65: Your Freezia is so pretty. I regret getting one of my own now.
cads: I have always loved your Reid. I'm happy that he likes his new eyes.
Update: Massen aka Mase (changed his first name and much better than his original---it's pronounced Mason, just a different spelling) needs a new faceup but I love the way it is right now. It's a default with an added goatee. Anyone knows any US faceup artists who are okay with copying a faceup like this. Here's his current faceup with his new eyes:

[rosefinchcat]

Azha Nei: Thank you very much!

Gothic-Diurnal-Hime: Your boy has a cool name! I love his mustache and new eyes~

This is my Gentle Soori

Thanks, rosefinchcat. His original was too much to me to write on a regular so I changed it to something easier for my readers' sake. I love your Gentle Soori. He looks very sweet.

WOW! You did the makeup yourself?
Really great!!

[rosefinchcat]

Actually, this is not his body. The body is for another white gentle Soori(he is doing makeup, not at home now.)
I want to buy a SDGR body for him (the SDGR body has really nice and gentle kneeling pose!)

But the YID hands and feet look more gentle...haha
