stopmo armature walk through

Excellent walk through of an armature for stopmo

if link dies. he uses 1/16"th diameter aluminum wire. 4 Strands of wire twisted together for spine and legs (for weight) 2 strands for neck and arms. Molds head, and hands straight on with clay. Pelvis and shoulders are blobs of plumbers epoxy, to lock all the wire together, and to give himself something to grab. Wraps "cloth tape" around upper arm and lower arms and legs to flesh it out some but limit (flexible, but not as much as plain wire) Feet are wooden shoes, wire leg glued in, space cut out of top to hold bolt, hole drilled down through, then wingnut and rest of typical tie down come up from below. Then wrap the whole thing in polyfill (like quilting batting) and cover in cloth. Good to go
