Sorry to hear she's kaput but maybe time to start planning and collecting bits and bobs for a Mk II and adjust for any shortcomings. Silicone boobies ect.

Oh dude! Firstly, no damage to Pris I take it :eek:

Sounds like you have your work 'cut out' for you.....ok ok ok http://www.jonrb.com/emoticons/getmecoat.gif


But I know you can sort it make. its just a case of getting the inspiration to see the solution, then tackling the job. :tu


Karrot

Poor pris hope she will be better soon:tu

Thanks, guys. No , Karrot, thank Zappa no damage to Pris.
Pictorial evidence of decapitation below. Not for the faint - hearted.
Gotta laugh a bit, though...

Sorry to hear about Pris' accident, I'm pleased that she's not damaged. Hope you can get her a new body sorted soon.

Well Pris n Jessica did a body-swap but poor Jess has been out of the picture for a while.
Sick of her being left on the shelf (quite literally!) ...

... I decided to do something about it.
revoL n I have had a few talks on the subject and he came up with some brilliant suggestions for the rebuild.
I want mk 111 to be more poseable so decided to make the knee and elbow
joints and some in the spine from cable. One of revs ideas was to thread the cable into the "bone" tubing and attach through holes in each end of each
bone.
Warning. Since recent mishaps please do not copy this method. Pics retained for archive only.

holes drilled through plastic tubing (burrs removed later)...

Wire paired back at each end...


http://www.uklovedollforums.co.uk/fo...ictureid=26329

wires fed through holes at each end , bent back on themselves and secured with cable (zip) ties then reinforced with duck tape.
gap inside tube around thinner wires stuffed with wadding to minimise internal movement.

knee joint straight...

knee joint bent.

:tu Nice work Phil. Very similar to how I rebuilt Jess' elbow and arm

Karrot

I used the same hip arrangement from my first home made effort (salvaged from a toy telescope tripod with one leg removed) as it opens and closes nicely.
Here it is prepaired for lower spine and leg attachments.

...and here with spine attached with exposed wire for flexibility in sitting etc.

http://www.uklovedollforums.co.uk/fo...ictureid=26317


upper spine and shoulders attached (2 more open cable areas for more
spinal flexability.


legs fitted with knee and hip/thigh cable joints showing.

http://www.uklovedollforums.co.uk/fo...ictureid=26315


http://www.uklovedollforums.co.uk/fo...ictureid=26314

showing leg opening capability.


http://www.uklovedollforums.co.uk/fo...ictureid=26313

showing knee and some back manouverability.


http://www.uklovedollforums.co.uk/fo...ictureid=26312

Feet attached (thanks again , Samurai) and some leg "muscle" added.


http://www.uklovedollforums.co.uk/fo...ictureid=26334

arms attached and more musculature added.


http://www.uklovedollforums.co.uk/fo...ictureid=26333

neck attached (long enough to go right up inside skull for head attachment. More padding to be added to hips/legs and remainder of body to be clad.
Poor psp work to blame for jagged outline.
Work continues....

I can't take all the credit as it was your initial idea with a few minor tweaks.


Looking good so far, Phil:tu

ive been working away at the rebuild all day and I forgot to take progress pics- DOH!. I attached a cushion to her shoulders, pulling it into a rough
triangulas shape secured with a couple of zip ties and duck tape.I did the same for the hip area and padded out the thighs and bum with wadding from an old pillow. I achieved the contouring by stretching the tape taut for thinner areas and not so tight when i wanted it broader.
The bath sponge boobs were then added and will later be shaped with
padded bra-stuffer wotsits.
More shaping and padding to do on the thighs and arms to finish but I ran out of duck tape.
