littlebearries Posted July 19, 2012 Oh no!!! I was just in the ER myself... I'm sure they'll admit her for several days of work... and then there will be all the physical therapy 0_0 The poor girl! I hope she's on the mend soon!!! Thankfully she feels no pain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XOHimitsuOX Posted July 19, 2012 I might as well post my process of fixing her... http://www.dollfiedreams.com/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=3845 Fingers crossed that she makes a full recovery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baldylox Posted July 19, 2012 Well, I've been there and done that and I totally feel you. It's so sad when it happens, you feel totally to blame for it... I know I did. But it looks like you have things well in hand. You went a bit further with taking her apart than I did with Manami but your repairs should work well. I just pulled the two lower pieces out of the top part with needlenose pliers and there was no damage at all with that. As long as you use some of that plastic weld epoxy, you'll be just fine. So far Manami hasn't had any issues with her repairs at all. That stuff dries rock hard and super strong. Get well soon Kaori!! PS. From the undies or swimsuit bottom I can see in one of those photos, it looks like she was wearing something VERY interesting when this happened!!

archangeli Posted July 19, 2012 Oh no!! Kaori!! When I saw the title I was expecting a funny photostory with Kaori and the girls >__<" This is just awful news! I hope she gets better soon.

Taidai Posted July 19, 2012 I thought the exact same thing as archangeli, it is a pretty good photostory title. How much did you have to tilt her back for it to snap? or was it just that worn out? Definitely going to be checking out your repair process of this to learn. Best of luck fixing her up!

Billy I had a good look at the broken pieces, thinking of a better way of fixing it. I was thinking of gluing it with plastic weld, but also want to reinforce the parts. I seen people use long screws to make it stronger, but after thinking about for some time, i will take a different approach. I won't say quite yet, as it could be a failure. Either way you'll know when it's done P.S. now you won't know why she was wearing them archangeli said: Oh no!! Kaori!!

I changed the title to make you think that i was gonna show a photo story of Kaori going crazy Gonna get some parts tomorrow to fix her up kymaera said: archangeli said: When I saw the title I was expecting a funny photostory with Kaori and the girls >__<" Yeah, I was picturing her with a machette ala Rena from Higurashi.

I must have been at the breaking point from me giving her a dynamic pose a lot of times. I guess it would happen sometime, but wishing that it wouldn't.
