Putting together my mermaid armature..

Here is the basic structure of my armature. It is made from twisted aluminium wire that has been covered in shrink wrap for extra strength and protection against breakage. Also, K & S tubing has been used to separate the joints such as the elbow and shoulders. In addition to this, the K & S has been used to from detachable parts such as the hands so if they break, they will be easy to replace without having to build the whole armature again from scratch.
