Pattern for gluing a model of the VAZ factory management. Paper models in half an hour - reality or fantasy? Handling developments for paper modeling

Any novice modeler should know the basics of working with paper. The quality of the created paper models depends on this elementary knowledge.

All the following techniques need to be taught to children from a young age, so that at school they already do this without hesitation. Like any good habit, the basics of modeling need to be brought to automatism in the mind of the child. I'm not only talking about those children who want to do paper modeling, this applies to any child because it is with paper that any creativity and development of children begins! This type of activity not only contributes to creative development, but also develops perseverance, accuracy, hand motor skills in the child. Let's move from theory to practice.

Workplace. Take care of a good, comfortable table and chair, lighting should fall from behind the left shoulder, use a table lamp if necessary. In order not to stain the table with glue, cover it with paper, film, or put a sheet of glass with sanded edges so as not to cut yourself.

Remember that the elbows of the hands should not lie on the glass - this is bad for the joints!

Paper- that's what we're working with. You should pay special attention to the quality of the paper, I like to work with good paper! Good and bad paper is like two cars, one Mercedes, and the second Zaporozhets, choose what you “ride” yourself :) For initial creativity and simple paper toys, it is best to use plain paper, for printing on a printer, A4 format such as “Snow Maiden ”, it has good qualities and is the whitest in relation to other brands. The density of such paper should be 80 g/m.

More complex models and toys are glued from thick paper or cardboard. Today, cardboard is of very poor quality and it is very difficult to find good sheets. A set of cardboard can be colored and white, from which cardboard you will glue the models, choose for yourself.

If you like heavy paper, then I advise you to purchase heavy paper for sketching. Please note that the sheets in the set are not bound along the edge with sticky glue, it is best when the sheets are simply folded without gluing. The weight of drafting paper can vary greatly between sets, so compare sheets from different sets when choosing and buy the whitest and thickest paper.

If you need super white and thick paper, then there is a wide selection of photo papers at your disposal. On such paper, you can print color scans. From sheets of photo paper, the most beautiful and colorful models are obtained. For work, choose photo paper with a density of 200 g / m or more, sometimes photo paper is almost like thick cardboard. Depending on the future paper model, you can buy single-sided or double-sided photo paper - it's very convenient!

Stationery (silicate) glue is suitable for gluing plain paper, but I still advise using PVA glue, you will understand the difference when you try to glue both. It is possible to glue photographic paper with PVA glue, but it is better to use Moment glue. Remember, there are different adhesives on sale and cheap does not mean high-quality, which is why I bring you photos of what I use myself.

You can smear glue with a brush or squeeze it out of the tube directly onto the paper part and smear it with a strip of thick paper (use scraps). If you glue with the Moment, then ventilate the room, as the glue is very toxic!

Paper work. Paper modeling does not require a lot of knowledge and tools.

Main tools: pencil, knife, eraser, ruler, compasses, scissors.

The pencil must be wooden, of medium hardness (letter designation on the pencil: TM, T, F), even with different markings, pencils may not match the quality, choose carefully. A pencil sharpening knife should not be too long!

Remember that it is easier to cut yourself with a dull knife than a sharp one!

The eraser is necessarily large and soft so that it does not smear the pencil, but erases it!

A ruler, preferably metal, from 30 to 50 cm. Plastic rulers, even new ones, in general, almost all do not have a straight line. The compass must be rigid, without wobbly parts, the stylus or pencil must not move otherwise "a penny price" for such a compass!

Scissors can be of different sizes, the main thing is that they do not go tight and lie comfortably in the hand.

The most difficult thing in paper modeling is to draw the development of the model, and without the knowledge of drawing it will be difficult to do. If you do not like to develop models yourself, then you can take ready-made sweeps.

I will talk about a common technique for high-quality folding of paper so that the fold line is smooth and sharp. For example, I took two rectangles, I bent one with my hands without using any tools, the line turned out to be just disgusting, it is very difficult to bend the paper in this way along a straight drawn line. I will bend the second rectangle along the line made with a needle from a compass under a metal ruler. Many people advise doing such actions with a used ballpoint pen, but it is difficult to find an empty rod and you still won’t make a line with a pen of sufficient quality, which is why I advise you to use a compass. Attention, you can cut through the paper with a needle, it is better if the needle is blunt, when you draw a line, bend the compass in the direction of movement, almost laying it on its side.

Look at the result, the fold on the left is terrible, but the fold on the right is very neat. Try to do this experiment yourself, you will see for yourself in my words.

Pencil work. Pay no less attention to this than to everything else, because the final work depends on the quality of pencil sharpening. Whether the parts will converge when gluing together or not depends on the pencil!

Sharpen your pencil sharply so that it draws a thin, crisp line. The point is not even in the quality and beauty of sharpening the "piece of wood", but in the sharpness of the stylus. Learn how to sharpen pencils with a knife or blade, but forget about the sharpener forever!

Be careful with cutting tools!

Now let's talk about cutting. You need sharp scissors to cut paper! Do not sharpen scissors by cutting sandpaper, the scissors will be sharpened, but at the same time you will scratch their inner side edges, they will cut inaccurately, they will tear the paper. Better ask someone who can sharpen scissors for help!

A difficult element to cut is the most ordinary circle. Children without skills cut out a polyhedron instead of a circle, you need to show and teach them how to do it right! First you need to cut the part around the line at a distance of 2-5 mm, so that nothing else interferes, then cut along the finishing line.

The cut circle should not have any corners, just a clean, straight line!

Often you have to cut out complex parts with small triangles for gluing (see photo). Before cutting out such a part, you must first go through all the folds with a compass, they are drawn with a dashed line. Next, cut off the excess paper along the tops of the triangles with scissors.

In any direction, make cuts along one side of the triangle to the fold line.

Then, on the reverse side of the triangle, make a second cut until the piece of paper itself falls off, you don’t need to tear it out of the corner with your hands! You will get a neat detail, and the corners are easy to bend thanks to a pre-drawn line with a compass needle.

To cut strips long or short and save time, use a metal ruler and a sharp knife or blade. You need to cut on a sheet of plastic or glass, so as not to spoil the table! Firmly press the ruler, otherwise it may move, you will ruin the paper.

Often, in order to glue a cylinder, for example, a car wheel, you need to glue the paper around the circumference so that the paper does not resist, it can be bent with scissors or against the edge of the table. To do this, take the folded scissors in your right hand, into a fist, put a strip of paper on top and press it with your right thumb, now pull the strip of paper with your left hand so that the strip rubs against the edge of the scissors. The same can be done by stretching the strip on the edge of the table.

This concludes my acquaintance with the basics of paper modeling, if I didn’t tell you something in this article, I’ll tell you in others or you yourself will learn this in the process of work. And I wish you creative success and look at your paper models with pleasure!

Paper modeling can be classified as an occupation that will never cease to interest a person. Many orphanages of creativity necessarily organize design circles, because paper models not only provide an opportunity to get a new interesting figure or toy, but with their help you can improve your knowledge of physics and mathematics.

Tools for the job

To learn how to fold basic paper models, you will need simple tools like scissors, a utility knife, PVA glue, and a brush to apply it. Give preference to PVA construction glue - of all the varieties, it has the thickest consistency, it does not spoil the paper, making it wet and viscous, like a regular one.

Different models are folded from different types of paper - from cigarette to thick cardboard. Beginners are advised to start with 200g/m2 watercolor paper for large pieces and 140-160g/m2 drawing paper for smaller pieces.

Separate details, such as masts, railings, small finishing elements, are created by craftsmen from polymer clay, gypsum, plasticine and self-hardening plastic. If you also supplement your work with stucco parts, stock up on various stacks, molds - like those used in ceramic floristry.

How to make a paper model

The workflow for creating a paper model follows a few simple steps. Before starting the process, the master determines which figure he wants to design. In fact, almost any product can be made from paper, but paper modeling often involves the following options:

geometric figures, polyhedra with convex and concave corners;

scaled copies of famous buildings;

models of luxury cars;

models of military equipment: tanks, armored vehicles, heavy guns;

vehicles: planes, ships and submarines, trains.

Figurines of a person, animals, plants are constructed much less often than others. Once the product category is defined, the main part of the workflow begins.

Creating a Layout

Three-dimensional models of paper are made up of several large and small details - the schemes of elements must first be drawn on paper sheets of the desired color. Here a person cannot cope without understanding certain knowledge of geometry and the possibility of representing a three-dimensional image.

To make it easier for beginners to learn, many specialized magazines began to issue drawings of finished scans for a paper model, by gluing which you can get a figure.

You also need to cut the layout according to the rules. For example, a solid line along the contour indicates the place of the incision, the dotted line indicates the fold. But in each scheme, the designations are individual, so before cutting out, you need to read the explanations for the figure.

Assembly

After the drawings of the paper model are ready, the layout is glued and finishing work is done, if necessary.

To make the surface of the product realistic, craftsmen use different coatings: glossy varnishes, matting sprays, craquelure liquids, stains, etc.

Paper car models

A beginner in paper modeling will enjoy this master class, which contains information on how to construct a well-known model of a VAZ 21011 sedan car in just half an hour.

Stock up on heavy drawing paper or coated sheet if the figurine is being created as a gift for a friend.

On an A4 sheet using a color printer, print the finished scan of the paper model with your own hands. If you want to enlarge the scheme, make sure that the proportions of the length and width are preserved - changing the parameters may prevent the parts from joining correctly.

Put a picture of a real car of this brand in front of you to use the picture as a guide when assembling. Bend the reamer in the right places.

Give the blank the shape of a car to mark the gluing points for yourself. Only after that you can successively glue the white valves with glue and glue them to the necessary parts from the inside, fastening the parts of the machine to each other.

Please note that the tread strips need to be glued together, forming rings that will be attached to the wheels in order to get the most voluminous paper models.

paper tank models

The construction of military vehicles out of paper is somewhat more difficult than the creation of civilian vehicles because the guns are made up of many small parts that form the body.

To see this, try to form a difficult, but very interesting model of the German Panther tank.

On a thick A4 sheet, print out the drawings of the components of the tank using a color printer. Small details are best cut out of thin cardboard so as not to bend narrow curled elements.

Cut out the pieces with sharp scissors to make the job easier.

It is better to carry out gluing in blocks - separately connect the parts of the hull, propulsion system and turret, and then fasten large elements to each other.

To glue the parts of the tank in the correct order, follow this video tutorial when assembling.

Sometimes the joints are connected with small errors, due to which white paper stripes appear on the model. You can get rid of them with felt-tip pens or pencils similar to the color of the armor.

paper airplane models

If you already have some skills in building paper figures, you will surely enjoy building a paper and cardboard model of the Tu-104 passenger aircraft.

Print out the aircraft drawings on thick paper.

Stick the elements of the inner frame of the product on thin cardboard - they are marked with red numbers.

Details marked with a cross - frames or frame - are transferred to cardboard using a compass. In this case, you can calculate the radius of the circle by placing the compass needle in the middle of the cross, and the pencil on the circle. Patterns of paper frames must be glued to these cardboard blanks.

After developing the frame, start creating the fuselage, or body of the aircraft. Note that, unlike previous products, fuselage sections #1-8 do not have white fixing flaps. They are interconnected by special ribbons, represented on the patterns by the corresponding numbers in blue.

The frames are glued into the joints between the fuselage sections.

While the glue in the aircraft body dries, glue the tail parts together.

The engines of the apparatus are assembled like a fuselage.

Next, wings are formed using cardboard and paper.

Connect the parts of the hull, wings, bow and cockpit together.

The chassis assembly takes place in several stages - the wheels and their components are initially formed, after which the chassis is glued to the wings in a specially designated place.

You can also use the pattern to cut out a wooden chassis - it will be stronger and last longer than paper and cardboard.

In order to avoid bends and creases on the body and tail, stuff the parts with cotton during the assembly process. Decorate the plane as desired with decoupage sprays and paints.

You can make a simpler model of an airplane out of paper with your own hands, focusing on this video.

Creating and editing flat patterns

For full-fledged work, you need to download the appropriate work programs. Pepakura comes in two varieties: "Viewer" and "Designer". "Viewer" allows you to view the available sweeps, it is easy to find them in Internet resources. "Designer" provides the ability to edit ready-made sweeps, often this is necessary for simplification. You can also rotate in any of these programs for a better view, select parts on a 2D scan to see the gluing lines and folds.

Nuances. Most free scans that can be freely viewed and printed in the Viewer are not fully editable in the Designer due to copyright.

It is possible to be limited to Viewer for a start. The files are in pdo format. Choose by difficulty level. Most often, it is written about in the description, depending on the number of pages and small details. Select, download, open via Viewer and print. My personal advice is to start with completely white blanks. But if you have already downloaded with built-in textures, then they are easy to remove - click on the cube and they will disappear.

Master class on volumetric modeling and paper design

Models are assembled from pre-prepared and bent parts. Sweeps must be printed on paper with a density of 170-200 g/m². This will ensure the strength and durability of the structure.

For assembly you will need:

sweeps or diagrams
glue (do not use PVA, after drying it deforms the paper) or thin double-sided tape
brush
needle for applying glue in hard-to-reach places
metal ruler
sharp scissors, almost any straight or clerical knife, which often comes in a purchased set, will do
fold punching dots
any flat cutting surface
In order not to spoil the desktop, you need to put a piece of linoleum, plywood or glass on the surface

The main material for the manufacture is paper. In principle, you can use ordinary A4 sheets with a density of 65-80 g / m3, but if the creation is large, then it is better to use drawing paper or drawing paper (160-180 g / m3), for the smallest details you can try (unless of course you find it, I don’t smog) cigarette. When building paper polyhedrons, I recommend working as follows: After the necessary development has been downloaded and all the tools are at hand, proceed to cutting and gluing.

Cutting out a figure from paper according to the scheme

Before proceeding with the assembly, it is necessary to prepare the workplace. Then, print the blanks. Make sure the parts are numbered. If there are no numbers, write them in the margins with your own hand. This will save time when gluing large crafts. There are three types of lines according to which blanks appear. Solid line - cut off a piece of paper with scissors. Dotted line - on models without textures it bends inward, with textures - outward. Line-dotted - without textures outward, with textures - inward.

Cut blanks carefully, do not forget to leave "adhesive fields". Thanks to them, various parts of the product will be connected to each other. Fold everything along the fold lines. If it is very long (more than 8 cm), then use a ruler.

Folding and assembling papercraft paper

Fold preparation. In order for the part to be bent in the correct position, it is necessary to walk step by step along all the lines. A non-writing pen will help you with this. Bend the element along the dotted line. Try to fold as evenly as possible and do not be afraid to apply force, when assembling everything will be in place. The bent edge on the outside is abundantly smeared with glue, or you can use narrow double-sided tape, as you like. Look for identical numbers and connect them. The process is easy. Good for developing mindfulness. The gluing is hidden inside the craft so as not to expose irregularities to the public.

Do not rush to connect everything at once, if your bonding method is with glue, then you should wait until it dries completely, and then proceed to the remaining details. From personal experience, we recommend using double-sided tape. Take it as an option. Its use will save your time and nervous system. In addition to the thick tape we are used to, there is also a narrow one. Often, it turns out to be better and lasts longer than conventional glue. True, working with him is a rather painstaking task, so immediately prepare tweezers in order to easily remove the protective paper. But be careful, turn on the logic and calculate the order of fastening the parts so that there are no uncomfortable moments at the end of the process.

In paper modeling for a beginner, everything seems to be a rather time-consuming process, but you just have to try, and this activity will become one of your family's favorite activities.

The gluing procedure is a very responsible matter, since it requires perseverance and maximum care. All joints must match - this is the main secret of success in the connection process. Apply a thin, even layer of adhesive on both sides. You should slightly move the parts so that an even distribution occurs. After the parts are brought into the correct position, they should be squeezed tightly and wait until the glue dries.

From time to time it is necessary to use tweezers. These tools are especially useful in the final stages when you have to work inside through a small hole. You should slightly move the parts so that an even distribution occurs. After the parts are brought into the correct position, they should be squeezed tightly and wait until the glue dries. From time to time it is necessary to use tweezers or, even better, surgical clamps. These tools are especially useful in the final stages when you have to work on the inside through a small hole. We use super glue for gluing small parts or if you need to quickly connect something.

We want to warn you that even the smallest flaws of a few millimeters, as a result, can deform the whole picture.

But if it’s still glue, then you should understand which company to give preference to. Check it for stickiness. It is necessary that after complete drying it does not shrink the creation and does not leave marks. In addition, gluing should occur in 15-25 seconds, this moment will show you the quality. You should also remember about safety. It should not be toxic. In addition, it should set quickly enough, but not instantly. The last but very important requirement is that the glue must not be toxic. Often, crafts are decorated with garlands or light bulbs, turning them into nightlights.

Handling developments for paper modeling

If the product is colorless or you decide to repaint it, then special paints are best suited. They are nitro-based, dry quickly, the paper does not get wet from them, the only thing is that they are expensive, several colors will cost like a whole plastic product. Therefore, try to gently cover the surface with thick gouache, making sure that it does not get wet.

Strengthening the paper model in papercraft

Important: almost all of them do not have an internal frame and easily collapse when pressed, or even under their own weight, so I recommend strengthening them during assembly by gluing at least a few spacers.

Safety

A dry place will protect from the ingress of unnecessary moisture.
The gluing process is carried out at the table, and not somewhere on the couch or floor.
Finished products on the edge of the table, rack, cabinet will definitely fall.
Wipe the dust from the finished product with a dry cloth.
Keep your workplace in order, as the work is very painstaking and you definitely don’t need extra chaos in the blanks.

Paper plastic in schemes and templates for beginners

This type of creativity lies in the fact that the volume is the key characteristic of the product, while the details are realistic and plastic.

Not all paper products require reinforcement. For example, for interior items (the heads of animals), the rigidity of the cardboard is enough. If a fancy dress or a superhero mask (which will be actively used) is being made, it must be strengthened. Reinforced with epoxy. First you need to prepare the adhesive mixture: mix the resin with the hardener, then dilute it with alcohol to a liquid, but viscous state. Apply the composition on the inside of the product in one layer, wait until it dries completely. Paint the outer part of the piece with resin, then lay a thin layer of glass wool (can be replaced with a bandage) and reapply the epoxy. During drying, the resin may leak, so the product must be placed on a blank and taken outside, or a large amount of newspapers should be laid on the floor. Waves and smudges are driven with a hair dryer. At the end, it is necessary to process the product with sandpaper and re-coat with a thin layer of epoxy.
