Arthur the Skeleton!

Arthur is a skeleton whose body parts I have collected for years. Every fortnight I used to get an issue, which is a magazine with one body part in it. It took me three years to collect everything but I got there in the end. I started collecting them when I was about 3 or 4. We started to put together the body but didn't have time to finish it. My brother was born when I was 6 so we forgot all about doing it and it got left in the dusty attic....

Last week, me and my mom brought it down from the attic and the suitcase JAM - PACKED with issues: all of them! Everything was very dusty and kept on making me sneeze!!



^ This is Arthur before we started on him again.

It took us 1 and a half days to finish him off which pales in comparison to 5 or 6 years of keeping him a prisoner in our attic!! When Arthur's bones were all in place, we had to put his muscles on, this was very, very hard, here's a picture.
 His muscles are on his arms so far.

The muscles were the most challenging part of Arthur because the plastic had gone into a funny shape because it had been left, squashed together, for so long.

When we got Arthur on his stand, and got his neck muscles in place, my brother, Mahaan, stood next to him, (my brother was a little taller though!). Here is a picture:.

We ended up taking off the muscles because they were too hard to fix into place so the picture on the right is him completed.



I'm sorry that this image is the wrong way up.

< Me and Arthur!!





We made the muscles seperately to Arthur so they would stick better. I did that job!! It was hard!
