Description

we are still alive! XD
due to some reasons I had to take a break in sculpting. but now I'm back)
what is the most difficult thing in making of bjd in your opinion? correct proportions? good working joints? overall symmetry?
NO!
the most difficult thing is finding appropriate sized balls!! >_<
I'm running all over hobby and fittings shops there, but I can't find balls (or beads) for elbow and hip joints. everything I see is too big or too small T_T
but hope springs eternal in the human breast xD

anyway... here is Snaeffel as she is now 8) I'm showing her head as I promised before. Sorry, no detailed pics of her face for now because it is not absolutely finished - I need to do some small mods...
I'm working on upper part of her (head, body and hands) but I swear she has legs xDD they are casted in gypsum and waiting for joints) thanks god I have balls for knees xD

What size balls are you looking for, perhaps I can make some suggestions?? I agree it is usually hard to find what you need locally, what I often end up doing is googling for the measurement and variations on the word ball, this usually gives me new ideas for what to look for.

I am fascinated by Snæffel (or is it Snæfell?), I look forward to seeing more of your progress and the results when she is finished. Will she be cast in resin or offered for sale, or is she just a one-off project for your own pleasure?
