Making prototype armatures

I have started making protypes following the last scale drawings that I posted up here. I have decided to make two, each out of different thickness wire so I can see which better suits my puppet.

Here are some images of the making of the armatures:

Left armature is made out of 1.2 mm wire, the right is 0.9mm.
