My first Modding Project! +Finally Finished!! 7/5+

Ok so i received a broken recall head from the dz contest. (DZ replaced the broken one) but i figured id use the broken one to use as my first modding victim.

the victim:


i'm gonna take pics of my progress...i should have gotten a better pic of this one...but i got excited and just started! LOL!

The questions. I evened out the eyes, by enlarging them...but i'm thinking i want to sand the nose, chin and possiably the cheek bones...what are the steps i should take to do this?

Like what grit papers should i use??i have dry wet of 600 and a 1000. but i need something rougher for the major sanding...suggestions?

thanks ahead of time.

5/13/07 PROGRESS

Well i decided to do some more with the hand, so i went on ahead and sanded the nose, cheeks, chin and even a tiny bit of the lips. I know she looks startled...those are 20MM eyes...i guess she needs 22MM...having no eye lids makes it a bit diffcult too...i'm in the process of giving her a temporary face up to see if it softens her expresion any...so any advice would be appreciated!











7/5/07 FINISHED

Well Akeelah is finished now! Like i said in my bump, I sent her head to Para-chan for a face-up, and she also did some light finishing sanding and added some apoxy eye-lids to her...but very subtle amount. just to give her a hint of eye lid. then she did a beautiful job at a face-up. So now PICS!





Tell me what you think!

 

oooh thanks guys!!! Your weros is awesome by the way!!! XD

 

Ah! well i've already modded the eyes open. i wanted to do something interesting. i want to make the head more feminie.

well actually the red is yet another head that i'm selling for a friend cause she has no access to the forum

 

thanks! i thought a cuter button nose would be more feminine.

yes i need larger eyes unfortunatly i dont have any at the moment. it shall be interesting.

 

Thanks! i will try that!

Apperantly your not alone thinking this. :P

 

thanks alot! Its my first serious mod.

 

nah i just didnt notice someone bumped it. :P Actually shes out for a face-up to my good friend Para-chan. parachan did the other recals face-up...so since their brother and sister i figured it would be appropriate. she may or may not be adding a tiny amount of eye-lid to her to make her less startled. i havent decided yet.

Thanks for the comments though!

 

thanks! i mailed her off to get a face-up by the same person who did her brother...so that they look similar like siblings.

 

Well i guess i should post pics of her finished shouldnt I?

I sent her to Para-chan, the same person who did my other Recal's face-up...i want them to look like siblings. She also did a few touch up mods for me, she evened out my sanding which i still think i did a good job on...and she added a touch of apoxy eyelids, so it wasnt completly just eye holes...and then did her face-up and added eye lashes of doom! XD She's soooo pretty now!! Definatly gypsy material in my eyes:

 

Thank you!!

Thank you so much! I'm proud of her!
