[Mookie]

Howdy guys.
Please excuse my ignorance and being remedial with mathmatics.I would like to make an armature in 120mm scale but have no idea what height etc a typical.armsture should be.Ive tried looking for charts n scales but to of no avail.

Any tips and helpful wrinkles would be most welcome.Sorry if im.being.a bit thick but i was ungraded at gcse maths so im no Carol vorderman lol.
Cheers from Richard

120mm is the height from foot to eye level/top of the head, depending on which one you choose - cut a piece of wire that height, twist some wire at approx shoulder level and pelvis for the arms and legs, et voila - armature!

Hi Richard

There's a chart giving the smaller sizes as a PDF which you can download

Easy enough to scale it up to 120mm and as Steve says some measure to the top of the head and others (strange folks) measure to the eye level

Hope that helps
Paul

As an extra thing, I wondered if this might also be of use. Remember half the world is good at maths while the other three-quarters isn't !!
