Scraps

Here is how the leg framing will be done for my poseable figurines.
There is a different design I moved to my scrap gallery. With this design, I can pose a figurine and it will stay the way I posed it.

This design has three ranges of movement in the shoulders and hips:
Legs - #1 kick forward then back - #2 raise leg out then back down - #3 spread knees out then in - and there is also knee and ankle movement.
Arms - #1 360 degree full circle movement - #2 arm out to side, up, then down - #3 rotate lower arm side to side at elbow - and there is also elbow and wrist movement.
Pic # 24 clearly illustrates the three ranges of movement.

In Pic #1, My non-poseable figurine of Wasafa Mongoose is positioned near the leg frame to illustrate the relation of where it will be. What is in the pic is only a prototype.
Depending on how successful these poseable figurines will be, I will eventually make poseable versions of the figurines I already have, such as Wasafa, my fursona Moyo, Joska and Sanya.

I plan to begin these figurines soon. Today, I have spent $40 purchasing size #10 thumb screws, 5mm bolts, a box of 100 #10 stainless steel washers, three boxes of 100 nuts (5mm, #10-32 and #10-24), a box of 100 #8 spring type lock washers (I was able to get them on the 5mm bolts...fit them on as small as I can) and a center punch. This will get me started on quite a few of them.
The following week, I will probably buy more 1/4 inch copper tubing and small stout springs.
The elbow and knee joints will probably use 4mm bolts, nuts, stainless steel washers and lock washers.
