Can you explain the mechanism in the arm? I understand from the pics you're using a ball joint (?) and a hinge, but what's the rest of it inside the bicep?
Re: The little mermaid marionettes Posted by Shawn on Jun 03, 2012
I have the same question as Na. I can't quite figure out how the white pearl bead is holding the arms in.

Beautiful sculpting as always.

Tomorrow I'm going to make the same joint for another character so I'll take step-by-step photos and explain how it works
Re: The little mermaid marionettes Posted by zooooom on Jun 04, 2012
I made this joint from what I had at studio in this moment ( sorry for possible English   mistakes   )
It will be a lot of photos
For each joint we'll need
 P6040029
4 split pins
2 nuts
1 plastic bead
1 bolt ( its diameter should be the same as hole in the split pin
