Full-size armature




The armature for the statue is made from mild steel welded into a rigid structure. It is
organised so that the metal runs inside the form and supports the clay.


The frame on the left is a pointing machine.  This is usually used for transferring 1:1 from plaster to stone.  I use it to find my extremities.




The steel frame is then packed with polystyrene to reduce the weight and tightly wrapped with chicken-wire which gives the clay something to hold on to.
