This skeleton stands at 40cm tall and contains all 206 bones in the body. It is made to 1/5th size scale. The structure of the skeleton is female (due to the shape/ size of the hips and the shaping of the skull), and she’s called Milda, after my very tall friend (since her legs are slightly longer than would be proportionally average).

I have done my best to be as detailed as possible with my explanation and include as many diagrams and photographs as I can. If at any point you are unsure about anything please feel free to leave a comment below and I’ll try to help you out as best I can.
