Found my dream breyer for a good price.. only problem..

The seller only sells to the US! I must be the most unlucky Australian in the world

UPDATE: contacted them, they don't ship worldwide due to an incident. I understand their situation and I hope them the best ^^

How come its so easy to distinguish a male name from a female name in almost every culture?

Some examples below:

Ibrahim Vs. Zahra (Afghan)

Gao Vs. Ling (Chinese)

Aderemi Vs. Chioma (Nigerian)

Carlos Vs. Daniela (Spanish)

etc etc

I feel like there's got to be a science or pattern behind it, but I can't put my finger on it.

I'm planning on changing this faux leather saddle to a darker shade of brown. Would leather dye or fabric dye be right for this?

Man, I wish breyer released more Pegasus

a lot of breyer's Pegasus are both...

  • In a rearing position
  • Extremely rare

The only one that's easy to obtain for most is a classic model, Cosmus. However... That one is also rearing as well. I hope to see a transition from unicorns tbh

Finding clothes for masculine 8-9 inch dolls? Impossible!

I'm probably just gonna stitch it myself, but does anyone know where to buy some, or at least know digital clothing patterns? Most of the ones I've found, around the size range, are for licca dolls </3

A question about BJDs...

Most of the BJD sizes sold are 1/6 or 1/3. Unfortunately what I'm looking for is 1/9, which is rarely sold.

I know that most BJDs are resin printed. If I contact the seller, would I be able to ask them to adjust the sizing to 1/9? How much, do you reckon, would the price be increased?

"So, what if Australia was in GnB?" An analysis and some research...

This is just for fun so its nothing serious.

Setting up the stage

Let's pretend that the blight can reach Oceania. This'd likely be through one of the many ships carrying convicts (Img 1). Conditions are crammed, food is scarce, and it'd be the perfect place for the blight.

https://preview.redd.it/h5snzdl3mt7h1.jpg?width=545&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a11dce3295c8053b727b33266d3499c61c76a2cb

  • Because of the first fleet, a population and government would've been already established here. They're mostly in Sydney.
  • Since this was before the federation, when all the colonies were united as one in Australia, I'm only focusing on New South Wales since I'm biased.

The military presence during then was the 73rd Regiment of Foot (Img 2). They were brought to Australia to restore peace after the 1808 coup d'état Rum Rebellions.

https://preview.redd.it/8jldo33hnt7h1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d417d8466dc05df530332b32d4a1bc40e29aca23

  • The Rebellions had successfully deposed Governor William Bligh, who previously attempted to control the Army Officers of the New South Wales Corps, and reduce the Corps' monopoly of Rum.
  • To replace Bligh, Lachlan Macquarie (Img 3) was appointed as Governor and arrived with the 73rd Regiment of Foot. The Regiment replaced the New South Wales Corps.

Thus:

  • we have our regiment, the 73rd Regiment of Foot
  • Location: Sydney Cove (now known as Circular Quay, I hate traveling to that place irl)
  • Blight hosts: the convicts

Applying this to game play

Status effects

  • Heatstroke: character loses health gradually due to heat. The status effect stops if the player is in the water or indoors.
  • Bitten (by animals): Snake bite, health gradually is lost. Health loss stops once surgeon treats the wound.

Missions

  • Escort Lachlan Macquarie (like William H. Crawford)
  • Holdout The first Government House at Sydney Cove (Img 4**)**

Suggestions for a generational curse?

My character’s children suffer a curse, what to make the curse is stumping me..
Since I don’t want to confuse anyone with names they’ll just be denoted with ABC

For context in chronicle order
- Takes place from 1810s-1910s
- How the curse starts: Person A is a Bengali soldier. He is with the British in the invasion of Java. He kills a Javan noble, and is cursed by them. Person A doesn’t know they’re cursed.
- Person A is a person who is desperate for validation as a human, not an asset, so he does a ton of horrible stuff for the British Empire
- Person A goes back to Britain
- Person A eventually dies before their kid knows their existence. Person B, Person A’s daughter, is made to believe she’s half Greek half British
- each first born of Person A suffers the curse, they all live in Britain.
- They’re unaware of person A’s existence as a Bengali.
- …. The curse carries on to the 1910s. A firstborn son is produced who carries the curse. He serves as a soldier for the British during WWI

Need help! How do I shorten a doll's neck?

I ordered this head from aliexpress but I've just now realised his neck is awfully long, lol. How should I go around shortening his neck to fit a neck peg (next slide) like this?

Would I cut out a chunk of his neck then reattach the bottom part again?

Dw I'll be modifying the bottom part to fit the peg.
