The final stage of manikin construction moved the most quickly. Having experienced hang-ups and navigating the provided text several times at this point I felt that my understanding of construction and muscular structure had advanced. There are 3 separate muscles that compose the hamstrings, 4 quadraceps and 5 adductors. The hamstrings flex the foreleg while the quads perform the opposite action by extending the foreleg. The adductors purpose lies within their name as they provide hip adduction and rotation to a degree. Each of the muscles share relatively common connection points which I had encountered before so this issue was easily overcome. The only truly challenge was to imitate the true volume of each muscle group. I noticed that my hamstrings fell a little flat and seemed inadequate in volume. However, the relation of the parts came together to create a relatively cohesive unit. All in all, the experience of construction muscular structures upon a manikin has been intriguing to say the least and very informative.
