Title: Finally finished the Silverbeam 3D printed BJD!
Post by: wystearya on August 11, 2019, 01:11:15 PM
Ok so, it's been.... years.  But I finally dug this base out and finished my BJD pony!

Here is a link to the old thread if anyone is interested:
http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,383390.0.html (http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,383390.0.html)

I was cleaning out some things and found my poor neglected and unfinished BJD yesterday.  So, I decided she needed to be completed and went for it!

Here she *finally* is!
(Please excuse the boxes!  We are getting ready for the new school year and such.)

I used a detail pen to color the eyes, and then some UV resin to fill in the hollow.  I also put in a star-shaped sparkle and a tiny, round silver ball as added detail.
I finally rooted all her hair!  And I colored her hooves with some UV resin as well.  (I have a lot of UV resin supplies on hand!)  And her horn is now silver, again, done with UV resin.  Her little cheeks are done with a bit of eye shadow, as are the inner part of her ears.  I may in time add a few more details, but I am very happy with her as is!

She was meant to be based on The Last Unicorn.  But she is obviously not exact.  But I love how she turned out all the same!

I did also finally get the front hooves to hold their pose.  If anyone wants to know how let me know and I will try to get a picture. 

Sorry that I dropped on making her such a long time ago.  I have found that I am just like that.  I will be excited about something and hit it hard, but then sometimes lose interest and I just have to wait for the motivation to come back.

Hope you all enjoy seeing her!  <3

Ooh I remember this project, congrats on completing her! I instantly thought TLU when I saw her, so I'd say you nailed that part even if she is not exactly like depicted in the film. Well done!

The angle of the hind legs seems a bit wonky, like they were too long compared to her front legs. I wonder why that happened since they look ok in the sales image.  :wonder: That said, you did such a great job fixing all the issues that popped up along the way! Looks like putting this doll together took quite a bit of work.  :sweat:

Thank you, I'm glad she at least resembles what I was going for.

I agree that the back legs seem a bit too long.  It makes posing interesting at times.   I think only in a straight leg pose do the legs work best.

And thanks, overall it was a lot of work.   But I  am happy she is finished at last!  :)
