Working on making a model boat is a pleasure and relaxation after the bustle of the city. You will be able to get satisfaction from acquiring new skills and pride in the end result.
Instructions
Step 1
So, the process of making a boat model begins with a drawing, which can be purchased ready-made, or you can do it yourself. Already starting from it, proceed directly to the manufacture of the model.
Step 2
Cut the hull of the boat out of a piece of wood. Its length is approximately 240 mm, its width is 70 mm, and its thickness is 40 mm.
Step 3
Hollow out the inside of the body with a chisel or chisel. Cut out some areas with a penknife. A prerequisite: the platform located inside the case, on which the engine winding mechanism is subsequently attached, must be made inclined. This is to avoid water getting into the crank holes.
Step 4
Inside the hull, closer to the stern, make another platform so that it rises 10-12 mm above the model's immersion line. Punch a hole in it for the fin lever.
Step 5
Drill a through hole in the middle of the stern and insert a piece of rubber tube into it, through which pass a metal rod - the rudder axis. Put the handle on the axle a little later, after fixing the parts of the boat superstructure.
Step 6
Install any winding mechanism from a child's toy inside the model case. Place a metal disc on the output axle, pre-drill holes for the pull rod in it.
Step 7
Next, proceed with the manufacture of the underwater part of the engine. Bend the fin with 2mm copper or steel wire. After that, using a soldering iron, connect it to the axle strip, to which, from above, attach a pull rod using the same soldering iron. Attach the fin axle to the bracket that attaches to the bottom of the boat.
Step 8
Position the winding pulley so that the hole located on it is as far away from the fin linkage as possible. Reinforce the push rod between the pulley and the link. Now you can start the engine mechanism in order to check its operation. And the final step is to attach the superstructure parts to the hull. They will give our model a resemblance to a real boat.
