First we need some sewable foam and some PVC pipe. Sewable foam is a material used by automobile repair shops above the headliner. It is fairly soft foam rubber with a nylon mesh on one side. The mesh allowsa sewing machine to sew it. We use the half-inch thickness. Above you can see the traced lines that will be sewn to give definition to Atlas' torso.

The sewn torso showing the muscle definition. The PVC frame will support the torso as well as the head and the arm attachment point.The PVC frame has a twist in it since one shoulder leans forward of the other. Hey, its hard work holding up the world!

The PVC frame goes into the torso. The torso gets stuffed with polyfill and stitched up the back.

Another view of the PVC frame. The cardboard was added to the top so that the sewable foam can be tightly stitched to form the neck. Atlas' head is attatched to a spring like the Graeae Sisters, and will fit where the cardboard is.
