66cm+ Dolls Resuming Dino (~75cm SD man), Repairing Tengu (3-eyed girl)

Once upon a time (like 4-6+ years ago ), I was pretty into doll-making and got quite a few projects underway... to varying degrees of completeness.

One girl I did manage to finish (in 2014 or 2015?) was Tengu (who inspired my user name if you were wondering), a 3-eyed girl doll. She was the second BJD I ever made (the first was a disaster) and I was pretty proud of how Tengu turned out.

Sadly, Tengu was crafted and lived in the HUMID American Southeast for 5-6 years after her creation, at which point the air absolutely destroyed her hands and feet I knew the crummy old apartment had humidity and mold control issues, but poor girl.

About a year after I finished Tengu, I started Dino, a large man doll (my fourth ever doll attempt). By this time I had jointed The Joint forum and was posting on him pretty regularly (archived thread here: /threads/dino-a-75-cm-male-sculpt.789305/)

But then, life (=evil school) + living in a small humid apartment meant I stopped working on him altogether in mid 2016, and he has looked like this for a couple years now:

I'm creating this project journal thread to chart my progress in fixing (e.g., sculpting entirely new) hands and feet for Tengu as well as to chart my progress on this Dino sculpt.

I've also since moved from the humid American Southeast to basically a desert in the American Southwest, so I really need to use my stock of LaDoll before it dries up!! Please wish me luck.
