Stop Motion Puppet Pt. 1

Step 8Closing

In creating this armature I've learned a few short-cuts for making future projects go a bit faster.

First of all being to drill all the holes equally deep so I can measure the 1/4” depths from the sockets plus the distance between the dowel, in this case the length of the wire would have been one inch for each piece.

Second, I would have used a better (read quicker) adhesive. This stuff takes 24 hours to reach full hardness. I've read that plumbers epoxy works wonders in this industry for creating armatures, and it only sets in 5 minutes.

The second part in this series will be adding some body to the armature using some padding from the fabric section from the craft store.
