Here's one I built. All it is is mixels joints, glue, round (square is better) brass tubing, epoxy putty, and a couple nails.

There are a bunch of other ways to make armatures too. I've also made one of Crambersher's style puppets. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O77ZbzAdSaQ[/url]

As for set building, generally I'd say stick to foam board and decorative paper (hobby lobby sells cheap 12x12 printed paper that looks like wood or wallpaper or other designs for cents each). Some hot glue and mod-podge or a glue stick will help you make supports for the walls and make the paper stick. A lot of professionals also use balsa wood, but that gets expensive. Depending on the size of your set, doll furniture may be a good choice for props. It's not super cheap, but it's not terrible either if you know what you want when you buy it and only get what you want.[/quote]

Thank you for the reply! I'll see what I can do. Also I think I am going to take my time and search for more tutorials on the things that I would like to learn.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Does anybody know a step by step guide on how to make armatures as close as these ones? : [url]https://www.amazon.com/Armature-Character-Creation-Not-Ready-Animation/dp/B072SKBR92[/url]
It doesn't have to be necessarily made out of metal, it can anything really (actual LEGO bricks, wire...). I am mostly interested in having a basic number of articulations.
Since lego minifigures don't satisfy me with those few articulation joints, and nor do I have money to buy an actual armature or too many figurines (Transformers Robots for example) I thought I might give this a try: to make my own armatures for future stop-motion animations.
Whilst we are on this topic, what do you guys recommend for building sets that are not made out of LEGOs? (Buildings, interiors and so on).]]></content>
