I bought some 1" PVC conduit and fittings, 2 - T's & 4 - 90 Elbows. I figured that it would still be light weight and still very strong. I used my Barney skeleton as the reference points to mark and cut the pieces to length.

One leg is shorter, that's due to it being the peg-leg side. I also wanted to give the stance a little "movement", so I heated the PVC with my heat gun and softened it to make it bendable.

Here it is with the test fit of the skeleton. Yes, I know the leg bone doesn't go all the way down to the end of the PVC. It's going to be inside the boot, so I decided to make him a little taller. The skeleton comes at about 5 feet tall, he now stands almost 6" taller.
