This week I've been designing and constructing my armature for uni. To the left is a digital armature plan I created, It was my first digital version I've ever done for any of my puppets as up until now I've just used hand drawn designs.
It was nice doing it on the computer as, with the guidelines on photoshop, I could get the front view and side view one hundred percent correct to eachother
As my scene is 14 seconds (with an extra 3 added on for something at the end) there are a lot of replaceable joints, just
incase things breakAbout 12 years later...
all the K&S, chest piece and hip piece was cut and filed, wire twisted and heat shrink wrapped.
Putting all my plans on the table!

| Gluing the parts together with a two part epoxy glue so its nice and strong! |
