Hi Everyone,

I want to make a bear the same size as my daughter for her Bday.  She is about 30 inches so I want the bear to be about that size.  Anyway, I don't have a clue how to do the armature and wiring to be sure it stands up.  I have been doing the home made armatures for my 15 inch bears with copper wiring and the electrician connector things ( sorry, don't know the technical name here.)  I could do this, but am thinking that I probably need something thicker.  Anyone ever done this?  I have never used locline...would that work?  I would appreciate any input.

I would think that loc line would work fine.
I don't know how heavy a gauge wire you would want to use. But I am sure that if you scaled up the size of the wire, bolts, and other bits. You should be able to "make it work"
