BRIDES WITH GUNS

Idols With Guns

Click on "Read more" or the title of this post to see all photos. The photos were originally posted at Twitter last year but I deleted my account. CFX intends to do something like this so I'm re-posting the images. Maybe we'll get a lot of people taking their own photos at the Dollfie Dreams forums.

Doll on Doll Violence II

This time, instead of featuring the weapon of choice for space wizards or 60-foot tall robots, I'll discuss plastic model kits of modern assault rifles. To the left is an image of the kits I have.

While you may not find the exact model as the ones in the photo, if you live outside of Japan, you can buy 1/3 scale rifle kits from Amiami or Hobby Search.

Instructions come in English and Chinese. The kits are not complicated and the pictures in the manual make it very clear which parts go where.

You'll need nippers/sprue cutters, plastic model cement, a hobby knife, pin vise, and a drill bit set. You'll need additional tools if you want to do more than the bare minimum but I'm not going to get into that.

Doll on Doll Violence I

Since there's a Roman numeral 1 in the title, I'll eventually feature more weapons for 1/3 scale daughters.

If you were to look for 1/3 scale weapons, you might have a hard time finding any. There's a Katana at Volks USA, a few weapons are listed but are out of stock at Volks Japan, and you might be able to find 1/3 scale military rifles at various retailers. I personally feel finding 1/3 scale weapons is difficult, expensive, or both. This led me to consider alternatives.

To the right is a pair of Gundam themed chopsticks I purchased at a Gundam Cafe in Japan. They set me back 1080 yen. At the exchange rate as of this writing, that's about 10 USD. If you want to copy what I did, I realize this is not helpful for those who don't live in Japan or don't have plans to visit. However, my point is to show alternate methods for providing your daughters with the kinds of weapons worthy of their psychopathic tendencies.

I will also use a Gundam Marker for this project.

1/6 Scale Dolls: Hands With Moving Fingers

Dolls generally include fixed pose hands. The fingers and thumbs can't be moved individually, or more like they can't be moved at all. If you want to have the dolls making different gestures, you have to buy hands in specific shapes.
