Item description:
The stop motion modular kit contains all you need to build your very own animation armature ready to flesh out in clay/sponge or fabric - with no need for gluing or soldering.
The great thing about Armature FX is that it is completely customisable to suit your own specifications. All you have to do is twist the aluminium armature wire provided and cut the lengths appropriate to the size of the limbs you would like your character to have. With the socket design armature joints, you can just plug in the aluminium wire and tighten with the grub screws provided - it's that easy! Kits are modular and allow different sections to be replaced. So if your puppets arm should break, just unscrew the part and replace it with some fresh wire. This kit's biggest advantage is that it comes with steel feet and very powerful super magnets so you can magnetise your puppet to a set top or use the M5 bolts for a secure tie-down. This is such a valuable tool when animating unsupported walk/run cycles and standing. In the kit you get over 3 meters of 1.5mm aluminium armature wire, enough to build quite a few armatures or replacement parts. We are also throwing in 2 x 6mm white acrylic eye balls for you to decorate with pupils as you wish.
