blackmercury Posted March 19, 2013 Earlier this year, I put together all the DD III pieces and now I can show you how I put the body together. You'll need all these eight parts (#1 and #8 for your choice) parts1 by blackra, on Flickr all DD3 parts by blackra, on Flickr if you cann't buy a DDIII-FO-01 / Feet you can use a DDS Parts DDS-FO-01 Feet. DDS Option Parts DDS-BF-01 Upper Torso Internal Frame is the same for all DDIII/DDdyIII/DDS dolls step#1 - Attaching the shins to the thighs it's hard to do (( you can to heat the knee side of the thigh with a hair dryer to make the vinyl more pliable. Then push the armature from the top of the hip down to get it through the hole at the knee. Also the knees pieces are labelled L & R ) attaching legs by blackra, on Flickr 13-1 by blackra, on Flickr dd legs by blackra, on Flickr in the end, you should have something like this ) 14 by blackra, on Flickr step#2 - connecting feets it's very easy. you need to simply insert them 08 by blackra, on Flickr 06 by blackra, on Flickr step#3 - connecting the legs to the hip socket I heated the vinyl at the top of the leg with a hair dryer to make it easier 09 by blackra, on Flickr 11 by blackra, on Flickr 10 by blackra, on Flickr in the end, you should have something like this 12 by blackra, on Flickr step#4 - attaching the torso frame Slide the internal torso frame onto the peg with the neck joint bent towards the back 13 by blackra, on Flickr step#5 - attaching the bust ) it's easy. Slide down the bust onto the internal torso frame. be carefull with neck joint 14 by blackra, on Flickr step#6 - attaching arms The arms aren't labelled L & R but it's easy to figure out which is which by bending the elbows. The elbows only bend in one direction – forward like a real arm – so you can orient the arms that way. Push them straight into the shoulder holes. 15 by blackra, on Flickr 15 by blackra, on Flickr After all these steps the body is complete! You just have to put the head XD ps:Sorry for my bad english ^_^ At home: Natali [1/3 BJD from Doll-Love] Aya [DD Natsuki 2nd ver.] Ami [DD Moe ver.1] Miho [DDH-06 pre-painted + DDS body], Haruka [DDH-07 pre-painted + DD2 body] Sorry for my bad english ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jadepixel Posted March 24, 2013 Excellent! Wish I had this when assembling my DDS, what a pain that was! Any chance you can add a note about which way hands attach? I get them upside down half the time so it may be helpful to others too ^_^; jadepixel doll lab jadepixel eye shop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackmercury Posted March 24, 2013 jadepixel I'm sorry, I did not understand a bit what you mean. I just remembered that in the book that was included with Natsuki 2nd was the process of how to disassemble the doll. these official photos can be used for assembly) 01 by blackra, on Flickr 02 by blackra, on Flickr 03 by blackra, on Flickr 04 by blackra, on Flickr 05 by blackra, on Flickr At home: Natali [1/3 BJD from Doll-Love] Aya [DD Natsuki 2nd ver.] Ami [DD Moe ver.1] Miho [DDH-06 pre-painted + DDS body], Haruka [DDH-07 pre-painted + DD2 body] Sorry for my bad english ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sekitan no Hashira Posted June 24, 2013 Thank you! This helped a lot when I assembled my girl's body yesterday! She's still headless, unfortunately… Specializing in the art of being different, which is a polite way of saying "weird." I do think I'm too young for this hobby… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UsagiTeatime Posted June 9, 2014 What about DDII? •ViviDollworks Insta• DDAiry♥Chie DDAmahaMiu♥Megumi DDH06♥Emi DDRibbon♥Maya ImomoRuby♥Mira ImomoBeibei♥Jack Frost DC24♥Yukiko Amagi DC23♥Chie Satonaka DDH27♥Nanako Dojima Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suzuna Posted June 11, 2014 DDII come pre-assembled, so someone would have to take them apart in the first place to need to put them back together. I know Mitsuki has some pictures of their internal frame in a sticky at the top of this forum, so you should be able to get a general idea from that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
necroid Posted June 11, 2014 So internal bust frames don't come with individual bust sizes? That's so useful to know, thank you! ^3^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
