Using the body template that I drew I cut out single shapes to make into the different sections of the body. Marking out, in black pen (like in the bottom picture) I drew shapes which wouldn't interfere with the movement of the limbs. I repeated the same technique of cutting the shapes out on the band saw. I use a sharp knife to take of chunks of excess Styrofoam and then using a rasp i shaped the parts of the body. Finally using sandpaper to curve the surface a bit more.
Where the two sections of the arm connect, on the inside of the elbow, I carved away to create a flat surface so that the arm can bend. I repeated this on the back of the knees so that they too could bend for kneeling and better human like movement.
