This Basic Brenda is the first Tonner doll I decided to use learning how to "enhance" a doll
Lorelei92950:
Closeup of gown and jewelry
Lorelei92950:
First enhancement..Basic Brenda
Lorelei92950:
very rough first try at enhancing (rather than repainting)
Lorelei92950:
Still, I'm not completely dissatisfied with this first one considering I was terrified to do it lol
Lorelei92950:
Brenda with killer eyes, my first enhanced doll, pretty bad...
Lorelei92950:
Basic Brenda Starr with "enhancement"
Lorelei92950:
Looks better from farther away lol
Lorelei92950:
Here is the enhanced Basic Brenda back in her clothes
Lorelei92950:
The Brenda in comics always had fabulous eyes, in fact they looked like she had stars in them!
Lorelei92950:
BEFORE enhancement again, original factory paint
Lorelei92950:
AFTER...the enhanced version
Lorelei92950:

Enhancement on Basic Brenda - Before and After
Lorelei92950:
Monaco Gene with her hair pinned up and original 1995 factory paint
Lorelei92950:
Side view...she will be my first Gene full repaint
Lorelei92950:
Poor thing...
Lorelei92950:
Well, I had a heck of a time getting off her eyelashes, this was using non-acetone nail polish remover
Lorelei92950:
I had pulled most of her eyelashes off in frustration (ouchy)
Lorelei92950:
Moved on to using Acetone based nail polish remover and things got better
Lorelei92950:
Still working on her
Lorelei92950:
Her factory paint is finally off here, but I managed to scratch some of the vinyl on her left eye :(
Lorelei92950:
Gene Marshall doll (Monaco Gene),
Lorelei92950:
Five beginning things done:

Lorelei92950:
Straight on closeup
Lorelei92950:
I've set in the iris of the eye here...I keep getting the irises too dark
