Modeling is the creation of a model of an object, i.e. its reduced copy at a certain scale. Copied items are mainly airplanes, tanks (armored vehicles), cars, ships, figures of people (soldiers). To learn this process, you need to master some knowledge in the field of technology, show perseverance, as well as the ability to use literature and tools.
It is necessary
- - Prefabricated model;
- - instruction;
- - tools and materials (in accordance with the instructions);
- - technical literature.
Instructions
Step 1
There are two types of models - bench and operating (radio-controlled or simply independently working, for example, a copy of an engine). The first type is in much greater demand among those wishing to learn this business than the second. It does not require long training, special skills and equipped premises. It is enough to have a table, a lamp, a set of tools, materials and the model itself in the form of a set of parts connected on one frame (sprue). For the second type, you will need: technical literature (where there is a description of the object), special material, expensive parts sold in specialized stores, a special set of tools (a small soldering iron, a drilling machine, electric testers, batteries, chargers, etc.). Most importantly, it will take a long time to create a managed copy. You will have to achieve the desired result through long painstaking experiments with the model.
Step 2
First, consider what kind of modeling you want to learn. Next, decide how much help you need. There are various clubs, circles, centers where you can take a course. The organizers of such institutions are usually very experienced modelers. Under their guidance, you can quickly master the basics of the process. After a while, you will acquire the skills and knowledge that will allow you to create masterpieces of modeling creativity.
Step 3
If you decide to do without help, then feel free to choose bench modeling. To create such a reduced copy, a minimum of funds and skills are required. True, the first model will look imperfect, but the subsequent ones will get better and better (experience will help).
Step 4
Don't be afraid to do something wrong. After all, they learn from mistakes. And in this kind of hobbies, it is the errors that will help to "fill your hand". Buy a model with few parts and high quality. In the future, you will be able to compensate for the poor quality of the model with your skills, but for beginners, these are unnecessary difficulties. Sales consultants will assist in choosing the right materials for gluing and painting. It is better to buy prefabricated models in specialized stores (there is usually a varied assortment there). Also, try not to ignore the instructions. After all, these are the basic instructions for mastering modeling.
Step 5
If there is a person in your environment who is seriously interested in modeling, do not hesitate to ask him for help. A truly passionate person will definitely respond. In this way, you will gain both a mentor and a friend of your interests. And having learned all the basics of the case, you may no longer want to part with it.
