Hardshippers in…Sweater Sale III!
The Hippie acquires a sweater. Dom is shocked. There is more discussion about Elder Witches. Then the OTHER one shows up. Continue reading Hardshippers in…Sweater Sale III!
Hardshippers in…Sweater Sale II!
Caveat’s comment about Hardshippers having no sense of style comes back to bite him. The Elder Witch known only as the Stylist appears!! She is a repainted/resculpted/rewigged head from some collector doll on a Mattel Made To Move body with action figure hands. Her sock sweater says, appropriately enough, HAIR STYLIST.
Then the Elder Witch known only as the Hippie shows up! They’re a custom sculpted/painted/wigged head on an Obitsu Slender Male body with BCS action figure hands.
The third Elder Witch, the Magister, is busy playing Delgado Master and will not be appearing unless some miracle occurs. Continue reading Hardshippers in…Sweater Sale II!
Hardshippers in…Sweater Sale I!
I have made many 1:6 scale sweaters out of socks over the years, so this miniseries shows how hilariously tacky they are.
Caveat is the store clerk. He finally got some ungloved hands! The first shopper is Dom, some DML action figure dude rerooted and repainted by @dollsahoy in the previous millennium. The shopper who can hear colors is Ghoulia, a repainted Mattel Claudette [?] head on an MGA Shadow High body. Sock sweaters are played by actual socks for 1:1 scale human beings that I used to make doll sweaters.
The Spymaster LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVES!
After struggling for YEARS to get the Spymaster right and eventually turning my Spymaster likeness doll into Ethan, I thought I was done with dolls of that guy. Continue reading The Spymaster LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVES!
Hardshipper meets Doctor Who character in…The TCE!
Yeah yeah, you all know the guy in black as the Magister, but here he’s playing Roger Delgado as the Master in Doctor Who for comedic effect. Ethan is playing himself. Both the Magister and Ethan are custom sculpted and painted [and, in Ethan’s case, wigged] resin heads on Hot Toys small narrow shoulder male action figure bodies.

Dorklets Night and Day in…The Chest Freezer!
Don’t worry — they’re not inside the chest freezer. They’re just excavating in it. What will they find?? Chest freezer is played by an Ohio Arts tin lithographed recipe card holder from the 1950s or the 1960s. The bright, lovely graphics will go well with my tin lithographed stove! Dessert packages and desserts themselves are played by Moose Toy Shopkins, some of which are pretty useful, if you can disguise the fact that they have cartoony faces. Continue reading Dorklets Night and Day in…The Chest Freezer!
Hardshippers in…The Shuz Store IV!
Shuz Store drama continues. Salesperson of dubious skill is Caveat. Customer is Aphanarit, one of the recent Mattel Barbie Looks metallic series. Shuz are played by Moose Toys Real Littles Shoes. Caveat’s opinion does not correspond with my own because I think Real Littles shuz look good on everyone! Caveat is just being a jerk. Continue reading Hardshippers in…The Shuz Store IV!
Hardshippers in…The Shuz Store III!
The Shuz Store is only nominally involved here. The real star is one of the many sweaters I’ve made out of novelty socks. It’s time for a parade of dubiously sewn fashion! Stay tuned! Purchaser of the sweater is Evan, a Mattel Wizarding World H**** P***** Luna Lovegood head, dehaired and slightly repainted, on a generic fashion doll body from Aliexpress with legs shortened and feet replaced. Interlocutor is Terra, a Mattel Barbie head, slightly repainted, on a Mattel Creatable World body, covered up because it doesn’t really match her head and also because I added non-matching double elbow joints from an Obitsu 21. Continue reading Hardshippers in…The Shuz Store III!
Hardshippers in…The Shuz Store II!
The Shuz Store strikes again. Megan is clerking, along with Caveat. Customer is Priscilla, a Mattel Wizarding World H**** P***** Bellatrix Lestrange with slightly customized face paint and restyled hair. Shuz are played by Moose Toys Real Littles Shoes, which are all amazingly tacky, and I love them. Priscilla is obviously looking in the wrong store.

Hardshippers in…The Shuz Store I!
You wouldn’t know it from the comic below, but I have developed an elaborate shoestore set — named the Shuz Store — on my set desk. The first of several Shuz Store adventures features Missy and Megan. Missy is a custom sculpted/painted/wigged head on a Playmates Toys Billie Eilish body with added upper arm swivels. Megan is a Mattel Sterling Silver Rose Barbie [Hispanic version] head with faceup enhanced by me on a Spin Master Liv body. Continue reading Hardshippers in…The Shuz Store I!
Three and the Master dispute over fashion
The Master has been rummaging in the Third Doctor’s closet! …At least for the first shot. They’ve also been shoe shopping together… Continue reading Three and the Master dispute over fashion
At long last, the Third Doctor!!
I finally got motivated recently to finish a project that has been in the works for several years: the Third Doctor in 1:6 scale! Continue reading At long last, the Third Doctor!!
Garden gnome shopping at the candy store?!
Another tale from Hardship, this one features Harry and Missy shopping for…a garden gnome?! Continue reading Garden gnome shopping at the candy store?!
Dorklets visit a shoe store!
Jyll got me a Glitter Girls Sweet Shop for my birthday, and it made its debut as a shoe store in today’s photostory.
Starring Saba, an American Girl Girls of Many Lands Saba head on a Spin Master Liv body with custom wig, as shopkeeper.
Also starring Ethancitx [the dorklet in shorts] and Meghna, his older sister. Ethancitx is a custom sculpted/painted/wigged head with a body made from at least 5 separate bodies [including Obitsu 24 pelvis/upper thighs, unnamed AliExpress action figure arms, and Spin Master Liv legs]. Meghna is a Mattel Barbie Fashionista head with custom wig and faceup.
And introducing Battat Glitter Girls Sweet Shop as the shoe store! The shoes on the outside rack labeled Shoezies are, surprisingly enough, Hasbro Shoezies from the early 2000s. The rest of the footwear is Moose Toys Real Littles shoes, which fits with the playful aesthetic of the store.
