Hello everybody! A while ago I mentioned making a tutorial for modding LimitlessEndeavours cat skull into a bjd head. It took a while, since I only finished the head’s mod yesterday, but here we go. Below the cut, my sloppy explanation with even sloppier photos! Perhaps don’t see this as a tutorial. See this as my uh, process. 

So we start with the head! I had two at the time, so for a while you’ll see two pop up in these photos. This is a resin cast head by Limitlessendeavours, and I’d say it’s very much an SD sized head. The cast is hollow, and meant to go on an armature. I used to make armatured dolls actually, so these are always a fun project.

This is what they look like from the back. Hollow, with a ridge to attatch fur for example. We need to get rid of that. 

Here you see the heads with the ridge removed with a dremel. I went at it with an exacto knife before, but heck. That’s a painful progress. So out went the dremel. This isn’t a project for those 100% unfamiliar with mods, I’d say. You see here too that I drew in these half circles on the underside of the jaw. That area has to be removed as well, or there’s no proper space for the doll’s neck to go.

From the side

And what we are left with. You see I cut out the area I drew, and added some apoxie in the ridges to smooth it out. They’re very rough if you don’t.

Next up is adding a foil ball inside the head. Without this, you end up not having a back of the head. You see here that I was sort of estimating how round I wanted that. 

Cling wrap goes over the ball, and the next step is making the actual head back! 

Sort of looks like I just smacked on apoxie. Which isn’t far from right, really. You want to try to get it as close on the edges as possible. Doesn’t matter if it’s pretty or not, this is just the base. 

After a night of drying you can pull the pieces off, and you have the start of the headback! Foil goes out, too. It did it’s job. You can likely use other materials to add inside the head as well for this, perhaps make the inside of the headcap smoother. I don’t worry too much about that myself.

Here I am cleaning up the edges of the headcap. You can see there’s now space between the headcap and the head, we don’t really want that, but smoothing that out perfectly takes a long time. 

So it’s basically the same steps. Cling wrap inbetween the head and headback, apoxie pushed into the edges. I started mixing my apoxie with white paint here, since eventually I want to have the apoxie not as super dark as it is in it’s natural state. Or you get the super white apoxie, that works too. 

After trimming the edges again, my headback now looks like this.

The next step involves fitting it on the neck you want. The weird black piece on the right with the cling wrap, is my Doll Chateau neck piece. For most dolls you’ll be using the torso. Sculpt a little long turd of apoxie, make a circle of it on the underside of the headback where you want the neck to go, and then push the doll’s neck into it. Make sure to move it left, right, down, up, etc. Again, doesn’t need to be pretty. 

You’re left with something like the image above!

It’s good to keep in mind how that looks on the cat skull. Here I’m looking if the neck-piece is straight. If it tilts forward, or backward, the head’s default pose on the neck is affected.

Drilling! Again, dremelwork. I start with 3 holes and then open up the space inbetween. I didn’t do this straight the first time, so I had to re-fill with apoxie and try again. This is kind of why you save making it pretty for the end.

Comparing the piece to a head I own. I added more bulk to the apoxie ring on the bottom (again push your neckpiece/torso into it to keep that correct), and compared the inside of the head as well. Some SD heads have this little bump inside with ridges for the Shook to rest. I didn’t take photos of it, but I copied mine to be similar.

Installing magnets! I put them inside the head first the second time around, think I did it the other way first. Can’t say I prefer one way over the other. This is just some apoxie around some magnets, stuffed into place, and let dry overnight. I may have pushed the headback against this with some cling wrap to make sure I didn’t put apoxie where it shouldn’t go.

After drying overnight, the magnets are in. Here I put cling wrap over the magnets, and put the other magnets on there as well. There’s a cling wrap wall in-between.

Lil blobs of apoxie go over/around those magnets, and then I pressed the headback against it. I do try to make sure there’s enough space to do this in the headback, and not that it now sits at 2cm distance from the head, but a little space was created that I later corrected.

Headback with the foil inbetween pressed against the freshly installed apoxie over the magnets. This’ll mean, hopefully, that the apoxie meets with the headback and sticks to it. For me that meant there were areas where only a little bit of apoxie met the headback, so I added more to it for sturdiness.

Basically this. You can see on the left my apoxie looks a little floaty inside the headback. I sculpted some more around it, but also cut off some excess that wasn’t needed. And I pulled some magnets out with removing the headcap! No problem, just put em back in there. (Watch your polarity, I spent 3 days wondering why my headback was no longer flush, turns out I’d switched the top magnets the wrong way around)

And tada! I like adding another layer of apoxie to the back mixed with white paint, to smooth everything out. Lots of sanding inside the neck space, and theb ack of the head in general. This piece is primed here. 

Anyway, this ain’t a small project! I don’t show the multitude of times I’ve cleaned up the edges here, or struggled to get excess apoxie off from around the magnets, but those things do happen. I also had issues with the neck hole not being deep enough, or the ridge being too low on the front so the head pushed itself backwards. If you run against issues, or you’d like more images of the finished piece, please ask! I’m happy to try and help you. 

Six magnets is also potentially overkill. This thing BITES when I put the head on 8″)

Last image on a doll!

Good luck!!

I haven't finalized the design of this piece, but I was too excited about how the rose turned out not to give y'all a sneak peek. I cut the individual petals from a sheet of tin, rolled and shaped them, and soldered them into the blossom. #tin #silvercolored #solder #lenk #lenksolder #dremel #dremelwork #rose #metalrose #rose #rosependant #sneakpeek #handmade #handmadejewelry #EverJustCurious

So you Can cut a gemstone with Dremel 😃 It takes a while... I continued to hand sand the Labradorite piece with several grits of sandpaper. Also takes a looong time😄 It’s not a super great finish, but it could be taken further. I’ll be making a YouTube video of this whole process in case someone wants to try. Your triceps will be sore the next day...👍 #gemstones #gemstonecutting #dremelwork #dremelcutting #diygemstonejewelry #cutgemstones #dremeluses #dremel #cutyourowngems #labradorite #rawlabradorite #jewelrymaking #handmadejewelry #handmadegemstones #jewelrymaker (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1rYL_FhOuT/?igshid=1hi4yv7oozqpj
