A structure comprises an elongate, resiliently deformable cable 24b,24d,43-44 a body section 49 comprising a cable-receiving aperture, said aperture being dimensioned so as to retain a length of said cable within it in use while permitting relative movement of said cable relative to the aperture in a direction along the length of the cable upon application of a set manipulating force, and retaining means (63, figure 8b) for retaining the cable at a set position relative to the body section absent application of said force. The cable at least partially defines the shape of the structure, and said shape may be changed by application of said manipulating force thus causing relative movement between the cable and the body section in a direction along the length of the cable. Such structures may be of application in many different fields, for example, stop motion animation, toys, puppets, sculptures, prosthetic equipment, robots or dolls. |
