~ Faceup season is in full swing! ~ Next up in my faceup backlog is DD Uzuki (first version). I picked up her head on a whim a while back but hadn’t really had a clear plan for it. But it’s finally time for Uzuki refresh! I decided I’d try for a mischievous look, and…
~ Faceup season 2024 begins! ~ I’ve got a bunch of faceup projects lined up for this year, so as I warmup I started off with my tan DDH-11 girl. I picked her up as a D’Coord from the Yokohama Volks shop during my 2018 Japan trip, and although I’ve enjoyed her faceup for a…
