I can't remember the branding of this, but I found it on holiday last year in one of those 'not-quite-a-£1-shop-but-close-enough' kind of shops. It's a novelty condiment/cutlery holder and cost me about £7 if I remember correctly. I really bought it for the umbrella as it actually works, but the chairs are actually a pretty good size for my dolls, though it'd be a little more of a squeeze for larger 1/6th figures. I added a fake mosaic on the tabletop to disguise the hole for the parasol, and I'd really like to get rid of the wooden boxes under the chairs which held the cutlery, but they're glued on there pretty solidly unfortunately.

On that same holiday I found this scaffy old tealight holder in a charity shop and thought it had potential. I stripped off the painted leather sides and stuck on some wooden shelves instead and boom! Industrial side table!

Also on the industrial theme, you can get sets of novelty 'pipe' straws from £1 shops, and when combined with balsa wood, textured wallpaper and lots of weathering, you get a rather snazzy 'reclaimed' desk!

This next one's a little hit or miss as its really too chunky for true 1/6 but I think you can get away with it. I've seen these miniature easels at £1 shops and The Works here in the UK but I'm sure they're fairly easy to get hold of elsewhere too. They usually come with a mini canvas, which is really too thick for our purposes, but could be used as one of those big printed canvas artworks you can get. I made my own of course, and I think it works fairly well as a desk-mounted easel.

Good work. Skillful posing. The umbrella's work really well.

These were all at one point or another meant for the Barbie deBarbiefied thread, as they feature slightly or not-so-slightly modified Barbie and Ken items. I tried to put them all together in a logical sequence for a silly and tongue-in-cheek story (some of it is a slight edit of an older version). Some items require little modification, others more, and some of the improved ones still suffer from being undersized.

It was a beautiful day at the start of their vacation. Jessica and Paul were driving down the highway, enjoying the dry heat and the stunning nature all around them.



Despite the natural landmarks surrounding them, they were lost. "Like a man," Paul had refused to stop and ask for directions. So he decided to turn around and try another way.



"Like a woman," Jessica would not stop nagging him about it.



They had almost turned around when...



Paul had to slam the brakes. Apart from the screeching of the brakes, there was heard the slightest of thumps, as a human body collapsed on the road in front of them.



It was local gadfly Sullivan, who none the worse for wear, proceeded to unleash a cacophony of curses and insults at our city slickers.



"I swear, he came out of nowhere!" yelled Paul, while Jessica was (exceptionally) lost for words.



While Jessica was trying to find a signal and talk to the insurance company, Paul realized that there might be a simpler way to get rid of the problem, as the angry Sullivan did not seem injured one bit.



Sullivan readily accepted a thick pile of $20 bills, while continuing to abuse Paul and his stupid little car.



Paul patiently hung his head and took a couple more minutes of abuse, before Sullivan decided he's yelled enough and disappeared into the same nowhere he had come from.



Paul and Jessica got back into their cozy little car and continued on their way, hoping their trip home would be less exciting.



That evening, Jessica took a relaxing bath while Paul was getting ready for bed.



They determined that the close call that afternoon should not be allowed to keep them from enjoying what was left of their vacation time.



Jessica suggested what was bound to be a bigger change of scenery and a pleasant getaway.



Having made a few calls and packed a couple of suitcases, two days later Jessica and Paul were enjoying a sunny, breezy beach in Hawaii.



And by the looks of it, Jessica is well on her way to learning how to surf and ride over the blue.

Wanted to bump this, since I totally missed it the first time around. Love the metal chair, the scale looks fantastic!
I but the straw kits whenever I see them. I plan to use them for piping, but the collection just keeps getting bigger. I think your solution as table legs was brilliant! The paint and weathering is top notch as ell!

Love that werewolf! I keep meaning to do something with the (decidedly not 1/6th scale) one from Doctor Who - it's very well articulated and with the right amount of forced perspective could look pretty damn good with larger figures!

I remembered I had all these photos from a couple of years ago - the first lot are from a lovely little spot in Dumfries and Galloway I'm actually heading back to tomorrow for a week so I'm hoping there won't be too many people (or dogs!) on the beach so I can take some new photos with my shiny new camera! The second lot are from the most beautiful little beach I stayed right next to in the Highlands, absolutely breathtaking, -this place-and we had it entirely to ourselves for the entire time we stayed there! (so obviously I had to take some doll photos )

I take waaaaaay too many photos of my lot! I went on a geology trip this weekend to look for fossils and couldn't resist taking a few dolls in my rucksack. XD

I actually made Marnie here a tiny little trowel with the intention of shooting her digging around amongst the shale for fossils as I'd been doing myself, but alas, there were more people on the trip than I'd initially thought, so finding a quiet spot to myself was all but impossible!

Ok, ok, I'll stop spamming you with Barbie photos! XD

The adaptation or modification of items produced for Barbie and similar franchises for other, more realistic sixth-scale purposes is an aspect of our hobby. So it makes sense to recreate the Barbie deBarbiefied thread on this forum. Feel free to post your new finds and modifications here, or to reintroduce the ones you have already shared.

For example, this bathroom suite, where the bath tub, sink, mirror, towels, toothbrush, toothpaste, and bottles and containers were all adopted or adapted from Barbie products.















Hope you find it useful or mildly amusing, and post your own adaptations of Barbie (and similar) items for more realistic scenes; I know several of you have already done some amazing things with them.

#barbie #custom #modern #civilian #repurpose

This is a sort of revisiting or retake of my first OSW post, with better lighting and photos, and more accessories, namely the new Connor/Resistance Leader by CGL. Oh, and more dust, I think, which is either good or bad...

Hope you like it.
