brand new to this
Hello, I am Forty-eight, also known as 48.
I have a 166 WM doll named Bella and she is currently my project right now. she is currently getting some work done to her and eventually she will be fully ready for photos and what not. Bella is currently makeup free in this photo but I have ordered some makeup for her so stay tuned. would be really helpful if you guys help me out with some advice on repairs, maintenance and any pointers in general. |

Hi there 48.
to the mad house that is disappointingly remarkably normal. As for pointers, if you let us know what you are planning or what issues you are having, then I'm sure there'll be plenty of members happy to give advice. BTW, congrats on the 166c, she's a classic Psion

Bella and 48.
Doesn't look there's much wrong with Bella other than those bloody socks. She's totally rocking those specs. |

One bit of advise when you are standing your doll, make sure her legs are completely straight and not bent at the knees.
If you leave her like she is in the pic, she may buckle in the middle of the night. Psion

yeah im a bit strapped for clothing right now, thank psion for the shoes at least lol, I changed her socks by the way, she's now wearing white ones so they don't colourfast.
I am currently figuring out hands and feet, there are a couple of damages and I am in the process of getting new hands and feet for her, preferably from Ali express and some construct for the hands, currently in conversation about dimensions and any existing constructs so I am pateintly hesitant right now. |

Hey Forty8
As Psion says, welcome to the mad house Primark is your friend for cheap clothes. XXS 4/6 stuff will fit her nicely. K |

Welcome to the forum, you are in the right place for help and advice

This worries me as those are not simple operations. If you give more detail on what is wrong with her and what you really need doing I'm sure someone will have an answer which doesn't involve removing and trying to replace her hands and feet!!! |

Hi, welcome to the Forum.
Just to say put pics up and everyone will give advice but if new, hands and feet should not be done by novices. I have done 3 hands and 2 feet, bungs and other parts, still problem with the 2 hands. Look at videos on Vimeo, youtube and of course our maintenance column before attempting as most on here wouldn't do repairs. As I have quite a few girlies (over 20) I have one I can do repairs on as she was a state when she came. Take it easy and read the maintenance column. |

But in the meantime, as others have said, throw up some photos of the damaged areas on the hands and feet so we can see how bad it is. There's a few here that have carried out brilliant repairs to damage that some of us would have considered a right off. Also worth having a browse of the repair forum here Psion
