Try it. You'll love even putting an armature in a clay character. Start with a simple, homemade, wire armature. Tons of tutorials everywhere and with the materials takes very short to build (longer to let glue set if you are using wood bases or something like that).

For clothing, I definitely would use a wire or ball and socket armature. What I did with my clothed armature was tape some foam over the bare metal pieces to provide some "muscles and flesh" and then I put the clothing on him - that way I don't have to worry about fixing clay.

I think I will, only instead of "armature" wire I'm going to use soddering wire, I think it would work just the same.

This is my method:

First i make the figure with steel wire.
Then i cover it with clay.
That works for me 

Answer C because I have very few supplies to do anything better. Hopefully I'll be able to set up sort of a small studio, but as of now I just don't have the funds.
