Is it possible? Barbie related questions

Postby Raven132 » Fri Jan 11, 2013 1:57 pm

The long and short of it is that I love barbie (and she's about all that's in my price range) but want to do something with the shape of her body. Is there anything I can use to add a little more junk to her trunk so to speak? I've seen tutorials on how to bend the arms and whatnot, just can't seem to find anyone that has done any serious body work on any doll of this variety. Thanks all!

Using an air dry clay to add more body to her would be the way to go. Something like Apoxie Sculpt or Crayola Model Magic.

Apoxie Sculpt and stuff similar to that are what most doll modifiers use.

MagicSculp might also be a way to go--I build a lot of doll customization parts out of it myself.
