Work in Progress update - Neck

First of all I am going to attempt to cast the face, ears and neck as one piece for the next iteration... which means making a massive, complex mould... this will be a challenge.

Second I have decided to remove the borders between silicone parts. The seams will be visible, but the overall surface won't be interrupted by hard plastic.

Third the neck vertebra were trickier than anticipated! After 2 failed designs I believe I have arrived at a design that will be able to support the weight of Aleysha's head and at the same time allow for smooth deformation of the neck instead of just... folding over. Only a full scale test will tell. I'll also need a strong core to thread through it. Going to try steel wire. The aluminum was too soft.

On a side note the cyberdoll.co domain seems to have stopped forwarding to this one... but I don't have time right now to look into it so I'll just continue with mattslog.com for now.
