Production Begins - Armatures

I unscrewed the little electrical terminal blocks from the plastic.


Next I twisted some aluminium and copper wire together, about 3 strips of Aluminium wire and just 1 strip of copper for strength. As you can see I used a drill to twist the wire.




I cut the twisted wire down to the right lengths. 
Using both epoxy and super glue, I glue the terminal blocks to some washers. 
I then glued those washers onto bigger washers.
These pieces will be the chest piece for Jacob, the Bearded lady and the strong man. 

I used milliput to mould around the chest pieces (and the hip pieces, which are on the right) to make them stronger.
