body
I make a core with wood. It’s the same way as Green Man .
I use aluminum wire for the armature in this time. I use twist aluminum wire of 1.6 mm to waist.
Use the arm with a 0.9 mm twisted aluminum wire.
Glue the twisted wire to the core with epoxy adhesive. The adhesive sticks out a little.
Since the neck has less load, I use a 30 A wire fuse wound with paper. For details, please refer to Green Man .
Use 1.6 mm aluminum wire as it is.
Cut the sponge and bond it to the alminium wire with bond.
After the bond is solidified, cut with scissors and shape it.
It is completion of armature.
hand and neck
I make a original mold of the hand. first, cut a 1.6 mm aluminum wire.
I make a hand with scalpy on aluminum wire. Since I use the same mold to left and right hand in this time, I do not make front and back of hand.
After shaping, bake it for about 10 minutes at 110 degrees in the oven range. As with the head, make the mold with silicone, so lay the oil clay on the frame of the foam core board and fill the original mold of the hand half.

Gently peel off the other hand from the mold and put it on the hand.
Carefully laminate so that the framework does not protrude.
