The Aluminium Armature™ is a simplified version of its big brother, the AliExtra. It is an excellent choice for those starting out in animation and represents exceptional value for money. The armature kit has been designed so that you can build it to suit your character.

Despite its price this armature kit is made from the highest quality materials. We only use the best quality animation wire, ensuring that you get an armature which is not only a pleasure to animate but if treated correctly, is also durable and long lasting. Like with all our products this armature kit has been designed by our experienced and skilled team. We manufacture all our products with precision, quality and value for money in mind.
