Yukata Work

Started working on a simple Yukata for Hrist for February's event this year. Muslin test seems to be somewhat of a success. Never imagined sewing a few 'squares' together would rack my brain so much. Either I'm putting to much thought into this, or I'm making it more difficult then what it is. Planning to do a make or break version of it soon. The kind where you use the real material and hope for the best :P  If it works out, I'll be making one for Lidia, as Lidia's been modeling out Hrist's Yukata for me. Lidia's armor's slightly faster to get off the Hrist's. As hard to believe as that is ;)
Well there's my update/project rant.
Should have photos for the new years! Speaking of.... for those who have been following my little blog this year, special Thanks! It's been a wild and crazy year for making stuff. I'm hoping for another good year.
Have a Happy New Year everyone! :D

Hrist's Helmet Work

A day off! Finally, and it went by all to fast -_- but it is what it is, and it was a rather productive day...

Got a ton of work done on Hrist's helmet today, almost all the modeling work is complete. A lot of checks before I start to get the model prepped for printability.

Lidia's Trip to Saguaro Lake - Photo Story

Had some time to work on a photo story of the photos I took at Saguaro lake about a month ago. Seems like a distant memory now however. X_X

Posted the story on the Dollfiedreams forums.

Lidia definitely had a wonderful time. Looking forward to doing hopefully more in the new year.

New Parts and Helmet Work

New parts arrived today here at the Workshop.
Few pieces include:
-Hrist's helmet template
-Hrists final left gauntlet.
-Secret project. (More on this near January)

Finally can get these gauntlets done once and for all :P Hrist has been wearing new and old variations for months it seems.
As for the helmet template, it seems to have a real good fit. Now I just need to find some time to continue modeling it for the final print. Been working several jobs lately and it's sure taxing any free hours I have these days..

I did manage to do a video for the sake of my creative sanity a few weeks ago which it seems I forgot to post on my blog! >_>

Looking forward to starting the painting of these parts!

Hrist and Lidia Portraits

Lidia and Hrist had some fun the other day, having their photos taken. Hrist seemed a bit more enthusiastic then Lidia did however...

Or maybe Hrist is just happy showing off her armor...

Both Lidia and Hrist just need their boots and helmets finished! And weapons haha... Lidia long been waiting for her sword. :(

Carb Rebuild 2014

Been a while since I've done any updates, been real crazy here, working like a wildman. Nothing really new, nor is anything planned except Hrist's helmet work still, and completing her other gauntlet that needs to be ordered still too... Holiday season for retails upon me, and it's looking like times in short supply. Hopefully I'll raise some funds to get that helmet done soon though! :D

I did manage to finally get around to rebuilding Rose's carb today, and I installed her new braided cables. <3 Definitely a world of difference with these, vs the oem vinyl ones. Hopefully someday I can get the clutch cables to match too. I went with Black Pearl for the cables. :)

New CV Cap.

Carb after the sonic bath treatment it received. Removed all the grit and grime and brought back a bit of a shine. I wound up applying a bit of bare metal silicon sealer to some of the stainless steel screws and other parts. Rose had been through quiet a number of rain storms this year.

New cables! Look at that lustrous gloss!

Armor Update VIII

Torso armor's pretty much finished! :D I took some photos of Hrist in her armor to use for that VolksUSA contest. Photo I submitted can be found on VolksUSA's Facebook page. Dirrect link to the image. "Hrist's Armor submission photo" 
Hoping to maybe win one of the heads for a possible Lenneth dollfie someday >_>; It's always nice to dream about future projects though. :)

Depending on my crappy budget, I am hoping to order her last gauntlet some time this month, if not. definitely next month. I plan to order a test demo band for her helmet, I think that'll be my next part I work on.  Which will have to push my modeling skills even further, it being Hrist's cornerstone piece, so to speak. My biggest worry right now is dollfie heads are big by nature, big head = bigger helmet X_X So hopefully it won't look to ridiculous.
