I started creating life size limbs to make molds of for this project.  They will have joints that can move.  This way I can continually reproduce limbs and create more figures.  I can work out more ideas for how to pose and how they will exist space.  Below are pictures of the sculpted limbs I started this week as well as sketches of how I think I want to pose them.
