Another Armature?

FeatherWeights weren't designed as a product for sale. I created these for myself, what I wanted in my armatures with options not readily available. I've used metal armatures and they're great, but had limitations I wanted to get around. If I don't sell one FeatherWeight, that's fine, but I'm making them available for like minded puppet builders.

1: Weight. These are light as a feather, 1/3 the weight of aluminum. For green screen work, I can easily suspend the puppets. 

2: The wire doesn't need to be adjusted or tuned, the flexibility is always the same, consistent. I use heat shrink tube to tie multiple wires together when needed and this can be built quickly.

3: The Nylon/Carbon Fiber mix is strong with a tiny bit of flex. My 3 axis clamps are similar to cement, but lighter. You can undo at a moment's notice and change new wire to fix or change the length.

4: Foam can easily be super glued to plastic parts for quick, steady building.

5: The feet, body and FeatherWeight heads (Sold separately, seen here) all have 6-32 Tie down ability.

6: The hands have magnets for props or climbing.

7: They include extra clamps for wings, tails, saddles, riders, etc, depending on the model.

8: Heads can be quickly detached for costume changes, storage and alterations.

9: Wires will eventually break, and depending on your build, joints can be repaired and the puppet is not lost.

10: If required, eyes pop out, or be held by their own wires, so Tex Avery can come alive.
