Victoria soft line vinyl

Did this stuff work for faux silicone babies?

@jeanhai-are the LDC kits the “soft line” ones? I never came across any LDC kits, wondering how soft the regular LDC kits are.

I should have mentioned that, Lovelyn had normal leg openings, so she was easy, Ilse was a nightmare. I really like it for regular reborns. I love the way it feels in the LDC ultra soft line, but it can be really tricky depending on the limb type. And I wasn’t able to fully fill the torso because of the openings.

And I’m not sure about making full babies with it, if that’s what you meant.I never tried, I saw some people make them but they never showed pictures of course. I have used it to make belly’s and butts, just kind of jelly body inserts.

I love the idea of inserts for the body. No matter how I stuff it, the body never feels as real. How did you get the right shape for the tushie and belly?

I cheated :slight_smile: well sort of. I made a belly plate mold, out of the cubbiest belly plate I had, just with clay. Filled it with plastisol and cured it. It didn’t feel quite right in the body, so I just made a kind of belly shape clay mold, looked like a shallow bowl kind of and started using that. For butts, I did the same thing; made a clay mold from the butt part of a back plate and made the butt mold a little deeper and wider. Then I started making one butt cheek at a time. I’m not a sculptor at all, so I just got the basic shapes in clay and then adjusted them to better fit in bodies through trial and error. We recently moved, but when I find my mold, etc… box I can post some pictures for you :slight_smile:

What kind of clay do you use?

The kind that will make sculptors cringe. I just had this cheap air dry crayola clay tub that I used. It worked fine though, for what I was doing anyways, just basic shapes. I definitely don’t recommend it for anything complex. And it didn’t hold up well, it would crack after just a few pours. Not from pouring, just from moving it. I haven’t done one since moving several months ago. I did buy some sculpy, so I’m going to use that for my next ones.

I’m getting interested in sculpting but I’m not sure how I will do lol. Probably be awful! It looks like it requires much talent!

I have so much respect for sculptors. I thought it would be pretty easy until I realized I couldn’t even sculpt a butt!

Lol it looks impossible but I’m just dying for a silicon baby and no way can I afford one. But it would take a lot of money and talent I think to accomplish that!

You should give it a try! You won’t know if your any good unless you try. I think it’s like everything else, if you work at you’ll get decent. You could also be one of those rare talents, who is excellent right away. You never know :slight_smile:

Let us know how it goes when you try this method. I am curious. I had a thought to find a bowl the size of a baby’s bottom to make inserts for the baby’s bottom. I even wonder if you could spray the bowl with pam like you do jellow or dunking the dish in warm water to release the mold. I don’t know just things I thought of.

Absolutely. You don’t mix it with anything, you want to mix the bottle but not shake it. I basically just turn it upside down, to the sides, etc … I pour mine in a measuring cup, the less you put in the faster it will cure. It doesn’t matter if the container is glass, plastic, etc… I put it in the microwave for one minute, stir well and then 30 second increments stirring after each. It will be opaque and start to turn clear as it heats. When it’s ready it will be completely clear. I use popcicle sticks to stir, it sticks to the wood however. If you use a butter knife or something else you can easily just peel off whatever sticks to the stirring implement. Is there something more specific you want to know?

The bowl is a great idea! And you don’t need to spray it or anything. As long as it’s glass or plastic it just peels right out and doesn’t stick at all

If they don’t specify soft line, they’re regular vinyl.
