Aardman Armatures Creature Kit

NOW WITH CNC machined joints: This is a masivly anticipated and welcomed up-grade to the already super popular Aardman Creature kit. CNC joints are stronger and perform better for longer. They are smoother in opperation and braze/solder with ease. 

The Aardman Armatures Creature kit is designed to deliver multiple options and maximum effect required by model makers and animators. The kit contains over 100 stainless steel parts which offers limitless possibilities for character and creature construction. With an easy to follow assembly guide, you can create anything from a simple human skeleton (an armature) to four legged friends, dinosaurs and mythical beasts. Use these armatures to flesh out in clay or other material (not included) to create your fully realised characters.  Through incremental movements, your characters can then be animated in sequences to create your very own film. The joints are compact, strong and robust perfect for amateur or professional filmmakers. The armature also features rigging points, which can be fully integrated with the Aardman Armatures Rig kit to support and execute technical and dynamic animation moves. The Aardman Armatures Creature kit, although technical in it’s specification, is incredibly easy to assemble. All balls and bars are M3 threaded and can be secured into the balls using a strong thread-lock (not included) for a permanent fix. This kit will also require basic hand tools to put together (not supplied). 

Please note that you will need Loctite thread-lock glue to make a permanent fixing off balls to threaded rod (not included) available to purchase here.
