@chatrat @jlesser @quiltsabunch You bunch of pervs made me laugh SO hard!!!
(I needed that today). I like it! A lot. I like the deeper crease behind the knee. It makes it look more realistic to me. I just wonder if the baby went to a very hot climate if it would undo the repositioned legs. I donāt like the lump between the legs (which will be covered by a diaper), but this is the first reborn Iāve seen that the legs were in an anatomically correct position. Newborns have skinny little hips. Most reborns have the legs stuck on the sides of the hips, especially the ones with limb caps. Iāve actually been working on trying to design a body that would position the legs correctly, like this one but without the lump. I will figure it out because it really bugs me.
Your creases are super realistic.
I just donāt know why she didnāt have the body made with a smaller piece of material there in the first place
Exactly my thought !
The lines on the legs are so. Realistic as well as the hands. If you look at a newborn leg they often have this before filling out. It usually goes with baggy little wrinkled knees, so cute.
Congratulations! How wonderful that you were chosen to do a prototype ~ sheās so beautiful! Her hair and skin tones are just perfection
I was just looking at the Reborns site and noticed that 2 Lauras have been adopted already! I havenāt even washed my kit yet
Some have received their kit sooner by mistake I think. Not fairš
Ohhhhhā¦okay. I paint at a snailās pace these days, but I saw those already painted and adopted and thought WOW, I really AM a slug!
you are very welcome!!!

That makes more sense to meāŗļø I couldnāt see what she was going for with that !
Yeah this is what bothers me ā¦she showed how to āfixā the legs, and now how to āfixā the body. Why should we have to do that with a brand new kit?!
She explained in the video why the legs come out of the mold the way they do. She offered a way to fix it, but itās not a requirement. Iām sure the stitch that pulls the legs together could easily be snipped and removed, but I think the way the legs lay with it is much more realistic.
I hate that little thingamabob behind the bent legs. Iām going to start doing this with all my kits.
That is the real baby, right?
Mine arrived today. I have been waiting almost 3 years for this kit, and am so happy itās finally here. As for the thing behind the knees, I have seen worse. Ethan by Nicole Russell had a very noticeable one and I donāt know if it would have been fixable by heating. It just had to be shaded in such a way as to not bring much attention to it, and pose him in strategic ways. You can kind of see it in this pic. Not the best lighting.
Lauraās donāt look that bad to me.
I donāt see any glitter on my kits. One of them was a lot oilier on the surface than the other. I like the envelopes and COAs. Did everyone elseās COA envelopes come sealed? I felt kind of weird breaking them open to look at the COA.
My COA was in a carboard envelope⦠unsealed but the sticky strips cover was off so when I pulled it out it slightly stuck to the COA and made a matte spot on the gloss finish
Ouch. The glue on the envelopes is rather powerful.
Both of my envelopes were completely sealed and had to be pried open with some muscle. Yikes.
Yep!
