My travelcompanion Lexi (pic heavy) - update 2 june - Castle Haarzuilen

I second that. Somehow these images look even more realistic.

Those shots look great, I think it has to be the angle. Great job.

Thank you all so much! Indeed the low angles work great. What also helps is photographing from closeby and zooming in a little bit. Most modern camera's distort the picture a bit at the edges. This can be very annoying if there's a face to the edge of a picture. Zooming in helps against that (it's probably because most camera's have a fairly wide view/angle as their standard setting).

A nice afternoon on the terrace. Beautiful pictures with Lexi and Allison.

What they said.

Thank you two/too!

It still looks great. Perhaps look into parted out DID sets (for example on Monkey Depot -- if they ship to you) for the DID button tool. Maybe this will help. I got one myself, but haven't used it yet.

Thanks. That helped (although I didn't got it at monkeydepot, but from Ebay).

Quick pic:




Getting her buttoned up was kinda easy, although apparantly she needs to go on a diet (even though she already has a small waist). Only the bottom two buttons can be buttoned up.

I hope getting it unbuttoned goes well too.

No more ice cream

Or more exercise. She shouldn't ride her car so much.

Nice new outfit with the red jacket! I like it!

Now, that is a bit insensitive, don't you think?
The trench coat looks like Acplay ATS049, which I believe is tailored for the Poptoys Xing body - which has a shorter torso compared the typical Tbleague/Jiao Doll body.

I use this coat on the s27b, which has a similar height, but clearly narrower shoulders compared to the Xing.

I think it worked very well, TravelGuide. Yep, accommodating the particular nature of TBLeague seamless bodies comes with a price -- an unbuttoned button or two. But I don't think it mars the look.

Thank you! It indeed looks great. (It's not exactly new though, she has been wearing it before)

Indeed, that's the set.
And my comment about Lexi was a reference about her taking her car mostly nowadays instead of walking.

It does work well. Actually Lexi's PMLB2013-17 body is (IMO) one of the more realistic in measurements, but still a bit on the slender side. Converted tot 1:1 she's 173 cm tall, measurements are 83-58-87.

Are the measurements on the JO-Q10C you have used similar?
I have considered ordering one of those, and was wondering how close they come to the numbers of the JOQ--05B, which I have calculated to be 173-175cm tall (depending on which head is used) and 79-56-88 - i.e. a bit leaner than your PMLB2013-17.

The 10C is 175 tall (with Lexi's head), 84-58-87. Bra size 70C.
Despite being longer, the legs seem shorter, and her body longer, but I haven't measured them. Overall the bodyshape is noticably different (to Lexi). The 10C seems a to have a bit more flesh than the 05B.

I got some extra 10C-bodies, which I won't use (BS and KT004), if you're in Europe and want one of them, PM me, maybe we can work something out.

Thank you for your quick response.
Interesting. I have noticed the long body on the JO-Q05B as well.  Compared to a Tbleague body, the area around the waist seems stretched.
Leg length on the Q05 is however on par with a S16a and just a fraction shorter than the s32a.  I calculate the inseam to 81cm (measured to where the detatchable feet begin).
Have you measured the inseam on the JOQ-01C?

Will send you a PM re. your suggestion.

Indeed the waist-area seems stretched. I haven't measured the inseam. And she's in high heels now, so I'd need to change the feet first (and they're really tight with the Jiaoudolls).

After Allison ended up in our garden and the following holiday with Allison and Bernadette, Lexi was back home again. It was getting autumn and she acquired a new coat to prepare for the coming colder period of the year. She took a stroll in the park. When she sat at the waterside, she pondered if there'd be any fish there.







She also got new boots, to replace the ones she was wearing in the first pictures in this topic.

(pics are from october last year)

A very striking outfit and look, and a perfect way to offset the slight bleakness of the cooling season.

Lexi is looking more stylish than ever!

Beautiful. That's a great outfit.

That outfit really looks good.

Beautiful atmospheric autumn shots at the lake.

That is indeed a really pretty outfit. I like it. The red in front of the greenish sourroundings pop out even more.

Thank you all so much!

Indeed it was an instant favorite. She'll give you a full twirl

Twirl! Nice.

The colour red goes very well with Lexi's dark hair.
October seems so far away.

wow, she really comes around. very nice shots and quite a travel she had so far. sorry if i havent read every post and its been mentioned before, but has the difference in temperature and humidity affected the body so far? while i do own a few seamless male bodies, they are displayed/stored in a dry room 24/7 with almost a constant temperature.
kind regards

Not so much the temperature and humidty, I think, but all the traveling caused a bit of discolorization of her body. Which isn't too bad though. Worse is her body wore down, so she's not holding many poses now. And since she's tan, a replacement is impossible to get.

Twirling made her dizzy (or maybe it was from all the compliments), so she had to sit down.
