Stage two

Using two part epoxy glue, I glued the electrical joiners to two washers and a piece of card (which I will later strengthen)

Once the glue was dry I used milliput to strengthen the bond between the metal washers and joiners and the card.

I also used milliput to make the 'remote' part of the legs.

 I took the wire out of the joiners when I put the milliput around the joiners because I didn't want any of the milliput going onto the wire. It's the wire that needs to be detachable.

I attached washers to the bottom of the legs, with epoxy glue, to then build the feet on top of.

So far so good, the armature stands well on its own.
