Using 1/16th and 1/8th armature wire, along with MOTION PICTURES FX Pros-Aid adhesive, everyday white thread, JB-Kwick, Plumbers Epoxy Putty, and 8/32 Tee Nuts I am able to make a 10in human armature for stop motion.
1/16th armature wire measured, cut and bent for arms and arm reinforcement. |
1/16 armature wire measured, cut and bent for legs and leg reinforcement. |
1/18 armature wire measured, cut and bent for spine/head. |
with normal, everyday white thread,,,, |
..and Motion Pictures FX Pros-Aid adhesive I lathered the wire in the pros-aid , waited until it got very tacky,,,, |
,,then made a slipknot with the thread around one end of each piece and started lashing the single pieces of wire. |
After the first lashing I then started to lash the Arm/hand piece together with the reinforcement piece, using more Pros-Aid and thread. |
