Almost everyone sooner or later thinks about the need to have some kind of their own hobby. There are a lot of options. For example, a lot of people are involved in modeling. This is a very useful thing, as you can not only make a copy of a real model, but also invent something of your own. And children will be happy with the new model. So how do you make a 3D model yourself?
It is necessary
Cardboard, paper, drawing supplies, pencils, felt-tip pens, paints, PVA glue
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, decide on what model and from what you will make. If this is your first time doing modeling, then you should not choose a complex model with a lot of details. For the first experience, thick paper or cardboard is ideal. You can also use plastic and wood if you have experience with these materials.
Step 2
Sketch your future model on paper. Try not to forget anything, but also not to overload the model with unnecessary details that will complicate its assembly. After you have made a sketch, you can start making a detailed drawing. It is desirable that the entire body of the model be made of a whole piece of cardboard or paper, but if this is difficult to do, make the parts separately. During the drawing process, you will have a lot of extra lines. To avoid confusion, circle the lines along which you will need to cut with a red pencil or felt-tip pen.
Step 3
Now you can start cutting the workpiece according to your drawing. If you are not sure that everything has been done correctly, then you can first make a blank out of soft paper and try to assemble it to check if you calculated everything correctly. Cut the final piece very carefully. Do not bend the cardboard in both directions along the fold lines, as its thin top layer may burst. Try on the blank. If everything fits together perfectly, start assembling the model. For this, PVA glue is best suited, since it does not leave yellow spots when it dries, as it happens from office glue. You need to glue as carefully as possible, removing all excess glue.
Step 4
Make all the individual parts for your future model. Set them aside along with the main workpiece and let the glue take hold. After the glue is dry, reassemble the model completely. Set it aside to dry again. Think over the appearance of your product. For decoration, you can use paints, pencils, felt-tip pens, stickers. It all depends on your imagination. Decorate the model after drying. You can also make a stand for it.
