So I’m almost done making my first figurine.  It’s the grandpa skeleton.  I’ve baked the Sculpy with wires stuck in it to turn into fastens for the limbs to attach to.  There is also a wire at the top of the skull so it can hang up.  At the moment just the skull and body are attached to each other, but they are fully painted.  I am trying to figure out the best way to attach the wires to the limbs, which are cut from a 1/4″ dowel.  My first intension was to cut notches in the limbs and twist really thin wire around it and thread it through the wire loops on the body, but I think it would look cleaner if I can figure out how to use the same sized wire as I’ve already used for the body and skull.  I’m going to test out making small holes in each side of the dowels and try gluing pieces of the wire into them.  Hopefully that works.  As for the hands and feet, originally I thought I was going to make them out of the dowel pieces too, but I’m going to make them out of Sculpy since I think that would look better.  For the packaging of the figurine I’m going to make a coffin box with information on the side or back about how the character died.  I’m going to make a test of one out of cardboard before I figure out what material to make those in.
