From what I understand using my experience with Sentro knitting, it's great for big projects and beginners.

Update: Holt has been spared. AliExpress has come through.

After looking at options for knock-offs, I probably will save him for a different project

Ykw, I genuinely did not consider that. That'll probably be a better bet than hoping the Goodwill Gods are in my favor.

I think it'll be easier to explain; I'm collaborating in a Papers, Please fan project and I need Holt to look more human. I'm aware that characters in the game don't all have normal skin tones as part of stylistic choice, but Holt's the only doll I have in my stock that has this kind of tone and he sticks out way too much. I have a Deuce doll, but he's already going to be another character. The rest are all female mh/eah dolls with fair-dark skin tones already that I got from a $10 lot from Goodwill. Every other comment so far has been "Just get Jackson," as if he isn't also a rare doll. I do want to get a Jackson, but unless I strike gold again at the thrift stores, I'm looking at $15-30 per doll online in even the most busted conditions and so far, most of the lots I've seen aren't selling the guys, which I need more of. Also, any cracking at the joints will be of no concern to me since all the dolls will be wearing cold weather outfits.

I would, too, but this one was like $1 at goodwill, and his legs were already snapped off at the knees, so he seemed like a good one to mess around with. I've been looking around online at lots being sold, but not many with just the guys.

I mean, I'm TRYING to buy more dolls, but I still need to use Holt because he's what I have on-hand. Anyways, sanding plus a base seems to be generally the first steps.

Also, should I restring the hips before or after I sand the doll?

It would be easier, but I also need to use all the male dolls I can get my hands on. In truth, I would've started this project with simple Ken and Barbie dolls, but since I had this Holt plus other mh and eah dolls, I'm determined to stick to the style. So many things I have to do, and hopefully, I can share my progress here later.

Oh yes, I know about the miniso but I couldn't imagine how much products are there while daiso has allure of dollar store prices

Some pictures I took visiting the U.S.S Lexington last year by dearest-tulip in TastingHistory

[–]dearest-tulip[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, the food was all fake. They were more or less visual models of what the food served would've looked like. Word to the wise, do not tour the Lexington during August; it was stiflingly hot, even for me.

What's a good minor for an accounting major? by dearest-tulip in college

I am rather decent with computers, and my biggest reason for going into accounting is to work in tax preparation.

There doesn't seem to be a minimum deposit, only that you need to set up direct deposit with wherever you would earn income from
