So I finally got fed up with how dirty Shiina is. XD In the first years that I had him and Micchi, I use to clean and re-coat them with Mr. Super Clear every half-year or so. That got to be too much work once I started amassing more dolls, and then of course I dropped out of the hobby completely due to lack of time...
Anyways, Shiina’s coating is now chipped in many places, and there is a noticeable colour difference between the bare resin and the yellower, dust-smudged coating. ._. (sorry, kiddo) The coating on his face is especially yellow, since it’s several layers deep, and there are chips on his cheek and upper lip. I can’t stand how ugly it looks any more, so I decided it was time for a grand wipe-down and bath...
“Oh, Shiina?....”
Shiina: “?”
Shiina: “Wait, this is about my chocolates, isn’t it?... DX
You can’t have them! I just opened this box!! D=“
“^_^;; No, it’s not. (Those chocolates are far too tiny to satisfy me, anyway. XD)
Well, you know, it’s been a long time since you all had any maintenance done,
and since you’re both the oldest and the dirtiest of the crew...”
Everyone: “....”
“...I’m afraid you’re gonna have to set a good example for the others
and be the first to take the plunge.”
*silence*
Shiina: *bolts*
Micchi: “XDDD ...GET HIM! =DDD”
(*Noel’s athlete’s reflexes for the win ^^*)
Tatsue: *flustered since he doesn’t know if he should be helping Shiina,
or if this “maintenance” is actually a good thing...*
Micchi: "Target apprehended! ^___^”
“Thanks, Micchi. Hmm...
you do know that, after Shiina, you’re next?”

P/S: Photostories are hard work, but lots of fun! :D
Micchi looks so good in his new beanie! (thank you, @sols-crew !) He's definitely going to be wearing it for a while. ^^ I usually have him in a hat whatever the season, because the F-10 head is surprisingly small, and his Volks W-55N wig would swallow him up otherwise. XD; (the wig colour is perfect for him, though, and the fibre is super soft and stroke-able~)
I really like the sculpt of his raised hand (05). *admires* I've only been playing with the Yo-SD's lately, and their hands are not detailed at all.
In other news, Niella is a go. ^^ The split order has been placed. I've decided to hold off on ordering a body until the head is in my hands and I can better gauge its size. Of course, I'll post again when he/ she starts to take shape.
Last night, I found another box of MSD jewellery from 2004 - 2008, and I think much of it I had actually made myself. o_O It's a strange feeling finding things you made and not remembering how you did it. Some of the pieces look pretty nice, including a kind of fancy, exotic-looking layered necklace... There's quite a bit so I will show them in another post. ^^
Finally, I had only intended to take one shot, but... It turns out that, after 10 years, this boy is still a huge camera hog. XD;;
Micchi: o^___^o “Praise me more~”
