Wire Dolly Measurements
The blanks/Dollies were made with 22ga wire- but rarely do I use Dollies; most times I make a new one...
These measurements are from toe to top of head.
I do all my skellys out of a single wire loop that I twist over itself for the torso. Then I take a thin wire and twist it just under the arms on the backside. I find it makes for and excellent spine and neck! I use the extra length in the loop for weapons and stuff that I want to be firmly in the figures hand or else cut it away.
Finally- the average person is just that- an average. I see people with longer torsos, shorter legs, longer arms (we call him an ape). The point is that if you want to capture a unique character don't let the concept of average ruin it.
