Ok so I'm making a crazy detailed list of Girl Body measurements for reference for everyone. I'll eventually do boy too once I get mine home but I am currently lacking a Type 1 Girl. Does anyone have one they could take an over bust measurement on?
Hi everybody I need an hand with some measurements of the Model Delf male muscular body type1 Hi need the width of the hand and the circumference of the upper arm
@3lysa - The hands are different moulds (left hand is posed 'flatter' than the right) but both I got 2.8cm at widest point. Upper arm is 8.1cm at widest.
Hello~ Does anyone have an idea of how the Kid Delf 45 body compares to the Model delf one? I've been staring at the official photos and it seems pretty similar to the type 3 body. I'd really like to get a MDF Diez, but I'm worried the head might be a little to small/ mature looking for the rest of my collection. Do you guys think the KDF head on a model delf body would look too bobble-head-ish? ^^;
@Fiishu - I've seen those official photos and the kdf45 does look really similar to the slender body but with less details/definition. The model delf heads are generally smaller than typical kdf heads (it is really visible in the official photo that compared mdf slender, kdf45, and kdf type2). I have two kid delf heads on the model delf slender body. See photo. It doesnt look weird to me the kid delf head on the model delf body, but standing them next to model delf heads on model delf bodies could look odd depending on what look you are going for. The size difference could be more emphasized if the sculpts features are different sizes and/or styles as well (for example a kid delf with a more anime leaning style of sculpt versus a more reaslistic leaning model delf style of sculpt). Not sure if any of this helps.
@xyuemoto- Thanks, that was a lot of help actually! I was trying to dig for more pics of KDF heads on MDF bodies. Some of the official pictures I've found from Luts can make the hybrids look kind of funky. I don't think the MDF head is quite my style (they're probably too mature to fit into my cutesy doll collection lol..I'll just admire from afar... ) so I probably won't have to worry about if they'd look weird next to a KDF. Also, your dolls look so cute! I kind of regret missing out on the special resin color event!
@Fiishu - They will probably hold it again. They've done the special colour twice now. I'm hoping they run it again and rerelease this elf sculpt I like so I can get him in grey, and hopefully on a model delf body. Wishful thinking though, haha.
@xyuemoto - I hope so too! I'd love a doll in one of the fantasy colors. Hopefully it'll be a bit before they do the special colors again because my wallet could not handle it right now.
@xyuemoto I'd love to get another elf boy in those fantasy resins! My wallet wouldn't be happy, but I would! Which one are you hoping for? In other news, my lavender Terra is on a plane and will probably be here some time this week or early next week. Already plotting his faceup and body blushing!
@Magnus Vale - I can't remember the name of it, but it came on a centaur once. I'll know it when I see it, I think. Hopefully you get your order this week. I'm interested to know if the lavender resin is more red or blue in real life.
@xyuemoto Cool! If they do another elf in fun colors in MSD size, I'll probably aim for either the Strawberry Pink or Milky Orange next time. Because I need a sunshine themed character. I'll definitely post pictures! In the preview it looks like it leans slightly more red, but pretty neutral between the two. I'm happy either way, to be honest, I just like lavender!
@Magnus Vale - I don't know if I would ever pick it, but I wonder how bubble mint looks in real life too. If it's highlighter-y or more muted / watered down type of mint colour.
@xyuemoto My bubblemint Kale boy is still on layaway, but I'll show him off when he arrives in October, hopefully. I know that someone posted pictures of their Bliss in Bubblemint in a previous thread, and he looks like a lovely pale blue color. Apparently I'm aiming for all the colors of the rainbow at this point, either that or starting a resin Sentai team. I just love fantasy resin. XD
I'm still going back and forth between getting a KDF head on a MDF body, or just getting the new KDF 45 body. @xyuemoto - do you have any pros/ cons about the Model Delf Slender body? Like finding clothes or the overall aesthetic of it? I'm worried I'll decide on the body I want then regret not choosing the other option .
@Fiishu - Most of my standard msd clothes fit him but as the shoulders are on the wide end some shirts are tighter on him. I don't have any specific pros or cons particular about this body (just on luts current designs for all their bodies but that is a whole other topic). It is more or less similar like luts other newer style bodies. Looking at the measurements on the site, the kdf45 and mdf slender are very very similar in size, most of the measurements are off only by a few millimeters (shoulder width difference is only 0.2mm so a kdf head will look basically the same ratio wise to shoulders on both bodies). My advice is to pick which aesthetic you like more, the kdf45 with it's smooth lines or the mdf slender which has a bit muscle, as both the bodies are very similar size wise and luts engineering wise.
Look who arrived today! I gave him a quick face up, which I'll probably redo at some point, and I'm so happy he's here! Welcome home, Harley!
Nope! The pair he came with were actually pretty nice, but these are two different eyes that I purchased from various places - I think the one in his open eye is from Shrike Aesthetics and the other one is from Curkitty on eBay!
@Magnus Vale I love that faceup you gave him, even if it is temporary!!! The scar is so cool. If you end up redoing it I hope you'll post a photo for us to see!
@angelangel Aw, thank you so much! I'm probably going to end up keeping this one for at least a little while. I mainly want to redo the eyebrows and fix a little smudging that occurred when sealing, I'm mostly happy with other parts of it. I've definitely improved in the face up department since I first started. Here's Harley and Milo hanging out together!
@Magnus Vale OMG, I just noticed his nails!!! That's way too cute, did you do those yourself? I love his pink & purple colors next to Milo's green & gold. Did you paint him, as well? Lovely dolls, you're making me excited for mine!
@Fiishu Thanks! Luts really does make the prettiest fantasy resin! @angelangel Yup! I did his nails and the blushing on his hands! I also gave him a bit of a "paw"dicure on his feet! As for Milo, I didn't do his face up, but I did do his body blushing and added the tattoos! The tattoos themselves were premade ones, but I applied and sealed them and cut them to the right sizes, at least! Here's the rest of them, Milo is quite the fun boy to model with!
@Magnus Vale Oohhh, his feet are SO cute. That is way too adorable. The blushing looks really nice too, it gives it a lot of dimension!! Milo's blushing looks really nice, too. I'm impressed by how perfectly placed the tattoos are since you applied them yourself-- good job, they look fantastic!
@angelangel Thank you so much! It really was fun to do the painting on him! I'm still on the fence whether I'm going to give Harley a tattoo or not to match his lovely partner. I did end up revisiting his face, mostly to fix the eyebrows which were driving me a bit nuts, and the smudges which weren't really apparent in the picture, but much more in person. I'll get some better pics of him tomorrow, hoping for decent weather!
@Magnus Vale Oh, the eyebrows look great!!! He's way too cute. Have you given him a personality or a story or anything? What about Milo?
@angelangel Thank you! I'm slowly getting better at eyebrows! And yes, this is one of the few cases where I had the characters made before the dolls! They're both part of my modern fantasy world. Harley is a member of an international peacekeeping force that basically deals with supernatural threats around the globe, mostly monster attacks, natural disasters, and the occasional evil cult. Milo is one of the princes of a small island kingdom who met Harley whilst being rescued from kidnapping by one of said cults. For Harley, it was pretty much love at first sight, and Milo became pretty fond of Harley as well, and ended up joining the force as a strategist. Harley is energetic, enthusiastic and super friendly, although he does have his awkward moments where he'll rush into things without thinking and second guess himself. Although it bothered him at first, he's trying not to let his sudden case of werewolfitis get him down. Milo is elegant, soft spoken and polite, but has a brutally honest streak and may have a bit of an affinity for pranks.
@Magnus Vale Oh my goodness, I love that story, it sounds like so much fun!!! They are so cute!! Milo totally looks like a prince, and Harley being a supernatural agent guy is just soooo cool... I love their personalities, too, they totally fit! Making OCs is so much fun. Do you have other character for that universe that you plan to shell into dolls, as well, or is it just these two? I ordered my doll to be a character that I've had for a few years, now, too. Her name is Columbine, she's a shut-in gravekeep who can see ghosts, but she kind of ignores them because she would rather be left alone to do the maintenance and gardening at the cemetery in peace, LOL. I've made paper dolls of her in the past because I've always liked putting her in fun outfits, so I thought it might be fun to have an actual, physical doll of her... I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who had this type of idea!
@angelangel My dolls are about 40% characters I wanted to shell, 20% sculpt I like that became a character I had, and 40% just loved the sculpt and came up with the character later. Of my current group, Siegfried, Kristophe, Niko, Marlowe, Ashe, Hiroyuki, Nimuel, Clarinne, Aidrian, and Meta are all characters I wanted to shell. Elliot, Ymir, Orion, Rae, and Zhion are all later decisions. Rune, Hyde, Aeon, Camus, Lysander, Caspian, Canaan, Kaine, and Minato all had characters I came up with later after just loving how their sculpts looked. My Dollzone Mo boy is currently the only one of the group who is still in flux character wise, since I reshelled the character he was representing (Orion). Your character sounds cool! Can't wait to see what she ends up looking like! If the weather stays nice and not too hot today, I'm hoping to get some more pics of Harley outside. Pretty boy needs some more better quality photos.
@Magnus Vale Awww, rescue romances and body-guard crushes are my favourite romantic tropes! Personally, a little tattoo on Harley would look cool but his claws/paws are already butch, like, why would he need to decorate more? He a tough pup.
@A Wee Tiefling You're probably right! I may give him a small bracelet tattoo to match Milo's though, as a romantic thing. I did manage to get a few pretty pictures outdoors today, although it is hot hot HOT!
@Magnus Vale Gosh he looks stylish despite the heat! And a bracelet tattoo would look adorable, especially in a complimentary pattern. - So I'm getting a head and I'm a bit curious, has anyone hybrid an MDF head onto a DV body? I've seen lovely KDF hybrids but the head I'm getting isn't KDF
@A Wee Tiefling - I could get you a photo of this (male head on a male body), if by DV you mean dream valley?, sometime this week if you don't mind waiting.
@xyuemoto Thanks! It was a good day for photos, heat aside! @A Wee Tiefling Thanks! I'll probably try to apply the tattoo when it gets a bit cooler. I'd like it to be in black to contrast Milo's gold, I'll have to see what I have available! (And sorry, no idea regarding your question. Harley's my only model delf head boy, since Milo's a MDF/KDF hybrid, and neither of them would resinmatch my dragon DV boy.) @angelangel The lighting on my "fire escape" was super good today, so I got a nice photo set! That one ended up being my favorite, but I got a bunch of nice ones!
@xyuemoto That would be super helpful! I've been debating putting my MDF Bory on the Dream Valley body, and I'd put my incoming KDF45 Bory on the MDF Slim body... (I'm a weirdo with too many Borys)
@A Wee Tiefling - Ok, but I wouldn't be able to help with resin match either as my two mdf heads are the brown and tan resin, and the two dream valley bodies I have are the normal yellow and normal pink resin. You're not a weirdo, haha.
@Magnus Vale That photo is way too cute!! I can't get over how precious he is!! I bet the black tattoos will look really nice on him. I love the outfit he has on, too. Columbine's first outfit came in the mail today, I'm getting so excited about her. My only other doll is a Yo-SD Dollzone, so the 1/4 size clothes look absolutely massive to me right now!! I know she's only 15cm taller, but it feels like such a huge difference when I look at the two dress sizes next to each other, LOL
@A Wee Tiefling - Here are the hybrid photos you wanted to see, model delf head on a dream valley body. Hopefully the missing headcap doesn't bother you as his wig is attached to it and I didn't want to rip it off. I like this combo. The neck might be a bit long to some people but I think it looks fine compared to the body type. Full body view - 20200828_224620.jpg With wig - 20200828_224653.jpg Side view looking forward - 20200828_224731.jpg Side view looking up all the way - 20200828_224742.jpg Side view looking down all the way - 20200828_224749.jpg Head tilted to the side all the way - 20200828_224847.jpg Also the dream valley default S hook will not fit through the model delf head.
That is super helpful! How does the neck fit and mobility pan out? It looks like some smal mods might make the fit more comfortable.
@A Wee Tiefling - It fits fine, there is no gapping. I think the only mobility issue is tilting head to the side, it does not go far.
@xyuemoto Thanks! I love his determinedly grumpy expression despite the sunshine and matching socks... @angelangel Thank you! He was called Yuki to start but I've realized he's not a Yuki, he's a Jacinto, so that's who he is.
Most likely a long shot, but does anyone have the old single part torso and/or know how exactly how the string is attached? If so, have you restrung it and how did you do it?
@xyuemoto Uhhh...which torso is this? I had an older body but now I don't know how old my slim body is (The type 2 body)
@xyuemoto I had the two part torso, guessing that's not it. I never had trouble restringing it though...hmmm...which I could help.
Hi, Does anyone know how a model delf male would look next to a Minifee girl? I’m kinda making my husband and me ( and our daughter as a teen )as dolls and I need quite the muscular and mature ( my husband is in his thirties) male for that. I’d like to pair a Minifee female with him if I can.
I'm considering a model delf girl body for a DIM head, do you think it'd work? I really like how mature and curvy the body is you know? How well does the model delf body pose?
@Natalie.Jua - Here is MDF Avalanche (original option 2 body) with Minifee Lishe: Her head is slightly larger but their bodies work well together. And depending on which Minifee girl you have or plan to get, some have slightly smaller heads than this. I think Lishe is one of the larger ones.
Thanks so much. I. Between a JID Owen from Iplehouse and a Model Delf. They’re the most mature males that size I could find and I can’t get a bigger size I already am building a full house for them. I think your pair looks super adorable
Thank you. I realized late last night that the Minifee in the photo isn't Lishe. It's Shushu. Here she is again, this time with a JID Daniel. He's not as mature looking as Owen but at least it shows the comparative sizes. (The other girl is an Iplehouse FID.)
