    Help!! CTVT's female body problems!!

    My buddy thought he was doing me a favor by grabbing a stack of CTVT's female bodies from eBay or somewhere on the Net because I like fixing them and making them workable for customs.

    I opened the plastic bag and to my horror, they have no neck stems. Just holes where the stem should be.

    Anybody know what I should do that would work? Does anybody sell something that can go into these holes so I can put heads on these bodies?


    Just asking. All thoughts welcomed.

    A majority of the CTVT females don't have neck stems because some of their female figures have neck plugs.

    You might be hard pressed to find neck plugs alone, so maybe you could take a vintage neck plug, and copy it using some kind of sculpting material.

    However, if there is no elastic cord to attach the plug to, you will have another problem altogether. If that's the case, get a bag of clear elastic bands at the dollar store, thread it through the neck plug, pull out the elastic band inside the body with a small crochet hook, double over the band, pull it through the hole again, and fasten it in place with a small twist tie.

    If none of this works, scrap the bodies, or use them for spare parts.

      I've had some success using broken female arms (mego or ctvt) as substitute neck plugs.

            I could use some tech support advice right now--I have a hard drive that won't read.

                  I made a neck stem out of wood doweling that looked ok. Used a small eye hook from a picture hanging kit to attach it to the body with some elastic, and was going to glue a resin head to it....then the torso split open. I ended up buying a bunch of busted Mego females and fixing them up with the sub par CTVT parts. Then...the Heavens opened up, and Doc Mego sprang his new fem body on us, and I tossed all the frankensteined bodies into the parts bin and replaced them all with his fine product!
