MODELING
Rubber model of a paddle steamer. Tips for a modeller
Directory / Radio control equipment A navigator lives in the soul of every boy, so any rain stream is already a river, and a large puddle is a whole sea that calls to launch boats - from the simplest, from a piece of wood or a sheet of paper, to specially planed ones, and even more so such combined ones, as offered by a German magazine " Technium" self-propelled steamship model. Yes, not an ordinary steamer, but an old, two-pipe, with paddle wheels on the sides. What child would not want to build one, especially since its design is quite accessible for independent reproduction. Indeed, all the parts are so simple that they can be made and assembled in one evening. Judge for yourself. The model consists, in essence, of two large parts: a hull with a propeller and a deck superstructure. And what components they are divided into - we will consider in more detail. Chassis It is a flat board with a streamlined shape. The front end has a traditional point for ships and boats, which reduces water resistance when moving forward, and the stern of the hull is simply cut off in the transverse direction. A tin rudder is installed here. The easiest option for attaching it is by cutting into a previously made slot in the stern. By bending or bending it, you can launch the boat in a circle or change direction. In the front and rear parts of the hull, two studs are driven in: these are support pins, a deck is installed on them. Wide cutouts are made on the sides of the hull - under the blade mover. Propeller It is mounted on two flat tin brackets attached in cutouts. The propeller consists of two wheels with blades and an axle. The wheel hubs are two wooden rounds (or corks), along the circumference of which slots are cut for the blades of tin. The wheels are protected by tin arches attached to the body cutouts.
To bring the wheels into rotation, a rubber motor is mounted on the body. For him, pulleys (rollers) are installed along the middle line of the body in its front and rear parts, through which a thin elastic band is pulled. One end of it is attached to the front of the body, and the other - on the axis of the blade mover. By rotating the latter, the rubber band is wound around its axis: this is how the rubber motor is started. If you now release the wheel, the rubber band will begin to unwind, causing the wheel with blades to rotate through the axle. Deck It is hollow to cover all the protruding parts of the body. Cut out from tin. Figure 1 shows a deck pattern: at the cut blank, the shaded places are bent - from them the bow and stern parts of the deck are formed. On the places marked on the pattern with a dotted line, the actual deck superstructure is installed. It can also be made of tin; but it is easier to assemble it from wooden elements: a flat plank platform, a cabin-house and two pipes (really from tubes or pieces of a round wooden rod). Styrofoam may be suitable as an affordable and convenient material for superstructure elements. Any pencil can serve as a mast, and harsh black threads can serve as stretch marks. The deck is installed on the hull pins intended for it and additionally rests with its cutouts on the sides on the axis of the paddle propeller. color The wooden blank of the model body is best protected from getting wet by oil paint. It can be applied with a brush, in two layers: the first is the most liquid, for better impregnation of the wood surface, and the second is of normal consistency, of any color: after all, the hull is practically invisible from under the deck shell. To paint the rest of the elements of the model, it is convenient to use aerosol cans, and the paint can be different: the boat will turn out more elegant, more beautiful. Aerosol coating is easier to apply, better adheres to any material - both metal and wood, forming a thin and light paint layer that is not burdensome for a small model.
Each element of the model can be painted separately, as it is being made, that is, even before assembly. However, if it is decided to finally paint the model after assembly with one color, the preliminary element-by-element coating of parts can be omitted and an aerosol can can be used already on the finished model. Model start Preparation for the launch of the boat comes down mainly to pulling the rubber motor. To do this, it is not necessary to raise the deck: access to the rubber motor is carried out from the outside, through a paddle mover. It is enough to take the model in the left hand, and insert the index finger of the right between the propeller blades and rotate it. It is necessary to spin the mover at any position of the boat in the hand from its bow - then the rubber motor will spin the blades in the right direction. Then, holding the propeller blades with your left hand, lower the model into the water so that they are submerged in water: you can, by adjusting the steering wheel to the desired course, release the boat on its first voyage. Its range will depend on the degree of twist of the rubber motor.
