    • Printer-friendly version

    Process for Quadruped Armature:

    • First, design your character.

    • Make a 1:1 scale model of your character on paper.

    • Decide its wireflow. Here I’ll be using a single wire for the head, body and tail and 2 separate wires for the legs.

    • Making big volumes using plaster of paris. Here I have not made one for the face, you may also make one for that according to your character design.

    • Giving a proper shape to your volume using sandpaper.

    • Turning the aluminium wire to make the head. A piece of plaster of paris can also be used to give a proper shape to the head.

    • Applying  m-seal on the body so that wire can be fixed over it.

    • Making the tail.

    • Ears made using a thin wire so that they can be easily animated.

    • Applied m-seal on the head.

    • Applied m-seal on the body to fix the legs.

    • U-shaped wire for the legs.

    • Tying the legs.

    • And here is the final model.
