The only thing I would worry about is the vinyl getting stained because it is totally unprotected. I had my levi kit out and assembled and I was very careful not to let it touch anything but somehow it got some dark blotches on the head. I had a hat on and off but it was a light color so
Oh wow! Thank you for the warning. I definitely wouldn’t want to run the risk of them staining because I highly doubt I’ll ever get my hands on another kit if they do. Maybe I should wait and have them painted so they at least have some protection that way. Looks like I might have to get over my paranoia with painted babies and just enjoy them!
Maybe you could do a base layer of flesh as a protective coating? I’m not sure how much it would help but since it’s recommended to do a flesh wash before anything to prevent the next layers staining the vinyl who knows! It may be easier to clean up with brush cleaner?
I have other prized kits but most will be my private collection as this one will be too once I paint him/her.
Elyse Brace too cute
Yes! I agree! There are many people who I would have loved to paint my babies but they don’t to customs!! So frustrating but totally understandable.
Mmmkay, you’ve earned some of my “afraid to screw this baby up but it’s still too cute to bag up” photo spam.
It’s a tad shiny from being stripped before I bought it.
Thank you guys so much for sharing! Such cute kits! I assembled my Everleigh and Miracle today and snapped a photo. Esme is still boxed up for now.
They are gorgeous!!
Thank you! I’m smitten with them and they’re not even painted. Lol
I love them!!
Thank you!
You, guys, are a bad influence!
Now I want to put all my favorite unpainted kits together which would brings me out of house space. I do plan eventually paint them all, I am just such a slow painter with very little free time
That seems like a more fun way to decide who gets painted next.
LOL! My Tibby got a birthmark under her foot from a black shoe label
They are so cute
I finally painted my Tibby. Now I’ve got Ladybug unpainted but dressed up.
I have a stand in baby that I was going to reborn but I have decided to leave him as is, I like the simplicity. This is the only baby I have ever kept for myself.
