How to make the house model

When people plan construction of own house, it is the best of all to make at first its model. It will allow potential owners to look visually at the future dwelling and, perhaps, to make any amendments before construction.

It is required to you

  • - special model knife, with replaceable edges. It can be both plastic, and metal. The last is better for those that it is more durable and will not break when pressing.
  • - dense cardboard. It can be got in special shops for artists, designers. But corrugated fibreboard will be the best option for production of the model of the house. Where can it be taken? For example, if there are unnecessary boxes from under footwear, then it is possible to use safely them for creation of the model of the building. Thickness of corrugated fibreboard different and what will be applied depends on house model scale. For example, at the scale of house 1:50 not less than 5 mm are better to take cardboard, and at 1:100 corrugated fibreboard 2-3 mm thick will be ideal. That is the house scale is less, the cardboard is thinner.
  • - glue. Most often recommend PVA glue, but it is not the best option. As he demands high accuracy and availability of practice of its use. To make the house model Globe glue and other views with similar structure will approach better.
  • - dense board (fibreboard, chipboard). It will be used for cutting on it of cardboard not to damage surface of other coverings.

Instruction

1. The first with what begins production of the model - it is the choice of the project of the building of which further it will be necessary to make the house model.

2. After have chosen the necessary house, we start its production. For a start we draw the plan and facades of the building on paper. The drawn plan is pasted on prepared corrugated or normal, pressed, cardboard, and we cut out on contour. Thereby, at us the ready basis of future model of the building will turn out.

3. We start production of facades and their assemblies. For a start we make two facades. They have to be located the friend, opposite to the friend. For example, two side, or main and domestic facades.

4. Then we paste two chosen opposite facades on the plan. We establish between them stiffening fin longwise to the equal extent of the building. We make the same with two other sidewalls of the house. The device of stiffening fins is necessary in order that walls of the model kept densely and were not filled up.

5. Production of roof of the model of the house. For example, if double-pitch roof, then we cut out two plates from cardboard, roofs equal to the necessary sizes, remembering that any roof, has to have small overhang.

6. In conclusion it is possible to note that pastel paper best of all will be suitable for facing of facades and roof of the model of the house, but it is possible to paint also with acrylic paint or gouache, in this case the extreme accuracy is necessary.
