On a totally unrelated note this pic reminds me of how I once use to measure stuff by going 1 Obitsu or 2 Obitsu end to end.....


That looks like an OrientDoll Dae-type. LeekeWorld sold them but it looks like they have been discontinued.

Just about the same, but I go to the meet up threads instead of sewing XD

Ok, I think I've been officially 'adopted' - or maybe 'owned' - by DikaDoll Rena OTL

I blame the Healthy Doll thread cause I went to read the DOA link and saw the MOC (Mint On Card) banner at the top, clicked it and scavenged around till I saw her.

Now I keep looking at girly doll clothes and wigs and stuff and I never cared about dresses and girly dolls before D: Minus the SHoyo, but not like this D:

...........I wanna save for a Dikadoll Rena..........
I have that feeling that I probably will... not just a "I want it but who knows" ....This is "I want it, let me start planning now I WANT TEH MONIES NOW."

I came up with this vague notion of conducting a poll to help my Obitsu girl Pinkie make a recommendation for the next main battle tank for her home country. The vague part comes in because I have no idea where or how I would conduct such a poll or what purpose it would actually serve, except as a "just for gits and shiggles" exercise.

This grew out of an earlier idea I think I'd mentioned here where Pinkie is writing a history of the tanks used by her country's military. I realized that, while I had a pretty good idea of what they would have used in the past, I'm not sure what they would use today nor in the near future. Believe it or not, I don't actually belong to any message boards that deal with that sort of thing, nor do any of them seem especially tolerant of a *GASP* DOLL running a poll! (Although it seems funny as hell to me to do something like that, I try to respect other peoples' forums even if I think they are humorless idiots.)

I think she needs the tank from the movie "Kelly's Heroes". In pink! For the future, have you looked at "tank girl" and also at "Dominion Tank Police"? For a more steam tank check out "Sakura Wars". Other places to steal futuristic or unusual tanks would be Citidel Miniatures and the Warhammer game. Me? Into Anime and Role-playing games? Nah...

There are also a number of "conventional" pieces of tracked and wheeled armor in the Battletech universe.

GAAAAAH! How could I forget Battletech? And I even play that, unlike Warhamster...

Funny enough, there's a very similar tank to the Shermans used in Kelly's Heroes that will play a part in the post WW2 history of Pinkie's home country, Aventine. Both tanks are the same hull and engine type (M4A3) but Aventine's use the larger T23 turret for 76 mm gun tanks and they also preferred the later Horizontal Volute Spring Suspension (HVSS). Oddball's tank was a remanufactured M4A3 that was re-gunned with the 76 mm but retained the smaller 75 mm turret and also had the late production Vertical Volute Spring Suspension (VVSS). Yeah, can you tell I love that movie?

My initial idea was to use a fictional design and I considered vehicles from 40K, as well as Venus Wars, Dominion: Tank Police, Technopolis (or is it Techno Police?) 21, Maschinen Krieger and, well, you get the idea. I eventually decided to go with a plausible "real world" history that sees them start with an early design like the Renault FT-17 and move through various pre- and post- WW2 western designs up until today. In post- WW2 era, I imagine that they'd be beneficiaries of the Mutual Assistance Program created by the US Mutual Defense Assistance Act. This means you'd see the usual assortment of WW2 and early Cold War US military vehicles before things start to dry up during the '70s and '80s. As for what they've been using in recent years, my guess is either the US M60A3 or the German Leopard 1A5 (or heck, be like Italy and contract the same in-country manufacturer to build both under license). Beyond that however, I've gotten kind of stuck.

My only real criteria is that it has to be something I could easily build or convert from an existing 1/35 scale kit. Sure, I'd love to have a 1/6 scale version but even if I had the money for such a thing or the skills and tools to build it myself, storing and transporting it would also be a problem.

Getting an annual pass to Disneyland, so Little Walken will be going back to see if he can catch up with the Princesses he missed. But it also means I can take other dolls later on, but who? Must be a Little or a tiny, can't be this Roger because he's too heavy :( and they might not let him leave.

I'm already thinking of House, Jimmy Page and his bottle of Jack, The Doctor. The only real Disney characters I have are the Beast prince and the girl from Hercules.
