I'm also working on painting a vinyl SD size head. It actually feels a lot like resin, but lighter. ABS plastic has the same texture as resin, but again, lighter. I adore my RL dollieh friend's Hujoo Suve. XD
Eventually I do want one of the 55cm Obitsu boys, but he's a bit lower on the wishlist priority than some of my character dolls. After I finish my layaway for a couple ResinSouls, I'm starting a piggy bank to save for my grail dolls, both Iplehouse: Akando in the new peach gold skin, and Claude in RealSkin.
What's RL short for?
and what's ABS? I've heard that but i can't remember... resin = polyurethane resin, vinyl is vinyl, but what's ABS?
anywho, i don't care AT ALL what Dollmore's dolls are, because Dollmore makes the only doll i'm completely in love with... no matter what she's made of
That's stupid, i'm glad their forum is dying, places like that deserve to die... elitism/favouritism is REALLY nasty :/magkelly wrote:That's exactly why I do like it here. I don't like the bigger doll forums I've seen very much. Too busy for me to keep up and I also don't like doll forums with cliques of members who seem full of themselves. Actually little boards can have their drama issues too. The last board I joined I left because they called me out as being "bad" for doing something I actually had full permission from a store manager to do. Not long after they praised someone who was a member of that little clique to the skies for doing "exactly" the same thing.
Put me right in my place, they did, and for no good reason, IMHO. To condemn me while praising someone else for doing the very same thing? It was totally hypocritical and nasty of them and it ruined that board for me. I still lurk there sometimes to see pics of new things but I never sign in or post now. That board is really dying of late. I go there to look and the only thread that hardly ever sees any action is the MH one. It makes me feel bad to see it because at one time that was a really great board but I also kind of understand why it is that way now. It's not the same. There's a group of people on there who basically rule that board and anyone they don't particularly like isn't going to be happy there. Sooner or later if they don't like you you'll end up gone. They'll just somehow find a way to make you want to leave....

i already feel like this is a great forum and a really nice community... ^^ don't worry, i'm staying
^-^
