Mounting the Anatomy Armature to the Wood Base



Use the armature map to indicate where the feet need to be bent. Place the armature upon the armature map and use the pliers to bend the feet. Make sure they are even by placing the armature with the bent feet on a flat surface and see if it will stand up.

Mounting the anatomy armature to the base is done the same way as the portrait head. The only difference is that the anatomy armature needs to be posed. Mark where the screws are going to go and then drive them into the wood through the loops of the feet of the armature.

After this is complete and the armature is securely mounted to the wood base. Cut a small amount of plumbers puddy and knead it thoroughly until it is completely one color. If the kneading process is not complete the puddy will not set. Place a small amount of puddy on top of the screw and smooth it over the foot area.

Clean tools and hands with alcohol.
