I reshelled Queen Ursa, as her old shell simply didn’t suit the character. At first I was gonna pass this sculpt, but when I saw blank owner pics in dark tan I knew she was way more fitting.
I’m honestly just really glad all her old things (other than the shoes) fit her perfectly still. I was especially worried about the wig, but it fits like a glove.
The what is what:
Sculpt: Impldoll Moira in dark tan on the 63cm slim muscle body

finished the sequin skirt and the heart-and-dagger top! actually i finished the skirt last week and most of the top. then it took me forever to do the tiny felt appliques and beading. it was super difficult to scale all that down from the original human sized sweater-- i think proportionally my heart and dagger might be SLIGHTLY larger than the original design but that was as small as i could make it without the little felt scraps losing cohesion.
you can see the small difference in scale when you look at my doll version side by side with the original vintage sweater. the knit fabric i used instead of trying to crochet my own sweater did a pretty decent job of mimicking the general effect of the original texture, i think. i also changed the shape of the dagger handle, but that was purely bc i liked a pointier shape better than the round ones of the original.
i had such a hard time getting a good picture of the jeweled dagger handle. it looks way cooler in person i swear 😅 it's flatback rhinestones and tiny gold seed beads and much glitterier and more jewelry-like than my pics are showing. also i remembered halfway thru taking pics that i had wanted her to wear these earrings and most of the better photos were taken before i put them in 🫠
also i did manage to get one ok full length one! bc she actually has shoes that go with this! shoes are such a huge problem for me with doll sewing, i keep coming up with these very Concept outfits and then the shoes that really should go with them don't exist and i don't know how to make shoes 😭 i've been meaning to learn forever but it's easy to shove it to the back of the line when there are so many other projects to do and that one is intimidating 😅
A few days ago I received an Impldoll Idol 68 Female body. Perfect in every way for my Iplehouse Freezia… save for the neck length….
It was just a hair too long for my taste. I’ve had to modify a few of the crew’s necks because most are hybrids. So let’s begin our adventure for the evening.
The main thing about a modification like this is to go slowly and only remove a bit at a time. You can always take more off, but it’s harder than hell to put back.
I took a grey colored pencil and some tape and made a ring around the neck where I would like to take some height off. Since my cutting wheel is thicker I’m going to have to stay on the one side of the line so I don’t take off too much.
I did make note of the curve in front, but ultimately decided that I didn’t need it. If I had kept it I would have used a diamond file mandrel to gently carve that in.
For this I grab my Dremel Lite with a thin cutoff wheel. On the lowest speed I start going around the neck, making sure everything lines up. Double check that you have a good grip on everything and are purposeful with your movements. A dremel bit can get away easily and create unwanted marks in the resin.
As always when working with resin, wear a mask. I also keep wet towels next to me to control the amount of dust that tried to escape.
I love a good, clean cut.
For our next act, the neck needs to be curved down and smoothed. Again with my Dremel, I employ my nail sanding bands. These are made for sanding nails, but I find them perfect for doll modification as they come in different grits from #80 to #240. The 80 grit is harsh and that’s what you reach for when you want to remove a lot of resin NOW, but today I use #150 to start shaping the neck.
This is where you want to go epically slow and check the fit of your doll’s head often. Rotate the head around and check the range of motion and also look inside to see if the neck is making contact with the inside of the head, this way you can judge whether to skinny up the neck more or give a greater curve to the top.
After you are satisfied with the shape and fit, it’s time to do a finishing sand. I like to use a wet/dry #400 by hand because it leaves a satin smooth finish that typically matches most BJD finishes and the “tooth” that their resin already has. Do small circular motions around the neck that way you don’t leave any sanding marks. Double check on the blending between your sanded area and the unsanded area. This is where shadows can reveal an odd ledge and make the mod look unfinished.
Now! Do your final fit check and suede the head if needed for extra grip.
There she is! I probably took about 6mm off in the end, but it was enough to make a difference. I’m so happy to have Enya whole again.
It’s truly amazing to see how far BJD engineering has come. The joints are beautifully made with posability that was just a dream in the early 2000s. I still remember when everyone lost their mind when jointed hands were first introduced and there were close to $200 a pair.

This is not a drill! I need him sold. Info below the cut but he is PRICED TO SELL.
Immortality of Soul Attack on Titan Levi Fullset
700 usd + shipping
He is gently played with and displayed, no noticeable yellowing but he is over 10yrs old so he definitely has yellowed. Comes with box, full outfit, ODM gear, wig. Unable to find his manual/CoA. He was purchased off here from user winonaflammery, so I am not his first owner.
The jacket pleather has gone sticky and peeled in a couple spots. Super annoying, inevitable, can provide more pics.
He's priced low because of the small damage, missing paperwork and age. I need the money so unfortunately I'm not looking to trade or carry a layaway! I have feedback on DoA, where he is also listed, if you'd prefer to do business there.
