I've finished the feet and ankles. The foot parts have been laminated to 0.5mm cardboard for strength and weight was added inside the soles of the feet to add stability to the figure once complete. The ankles have two points of articulation, and I was not convinced that making the pivots out of paper would be strong enough, so I made the pivots out of brass tubing. I also built "skeletons" out of 0.5mm cardboard to go inside all the ankle parts because all the weight of the model will be on the ankles. The "skeletons were constructed similar to the keel/bulkhead style of a model ship.
here is the basic foot:
here is the ankle "skeleton":
here are part of the ankles:
here is a completed ankle:

next I will be working on the lower legs, between the ankle and knee.
