For the manufacture of parts for models of artillery and torpedo armament of the marine models usually spent a lot of time, it is not always possible to achieve full similarity. Some of the devices and techniques that facilitate the machining of parts and reduces their production.
Pipes of heating are laid, usually near the walls, and even along corners. On the reverse side is difficult not only to paint them, but even control the quality of work. To tighten the pipe enough to use to control a small mirror, and to eliminate flaws — pad of foam sandwiched in “crocodile”. Read more…
In front of you a drawing of a simple model with electric motor and propeller. The real boats of this type are used in shallow rivers where conventional marine propeller can be damaged. Model making used popular material is Styrofoam. It is very easy and well handled. It can be cut with termoresta (see “M-K” № 3, 1978, p. 47), as well as a jigsaw, hacksaw or thin sharp knife. The processing done by plane or blade from a safety razor and a glass cloth. When gluing or painting you cannot apply substances containing acetone or nitrobacteria, as they spoil the foam.
Try to imagine the street without the usual clatter of wheels passing hundreds of cars. The wheel… what’s special about it? Meanwhile, in its long history has not written the last page. The wheel is one of the earliest inventions of man — as old as the author of it is unknown. Archaeologists have recently established that wheeled vehicles, the wreckage of which was found during excavations near the village of Bekovo in Bulgaria, around 5850 years! For a long time, while the person harnessed in such carriages of animals, the design of the chassis is almost remained unchanged. Decorated with carvings and gold, the wheels of war chariots of Ancient Rome were basically the same as that of the carts of our century: a wooden ring, tied with an iron Hoop, with wooden spokes in the center of a wooden plate with a hole for the axis. However, already in the XVIII century in expensive carriages occasionally could be seen and metal wheels… But those look like wood. Over time four wheel masters began to wear flat rubber ring — bus.
Trailers for passenger cars, turning them into a small truck, particularly popular with rural residents and owners of summer cottages. Naturally they greatly facilitate the delivery of a wide variety of goods – sand and peat, sand and manure, bricks and gravel. It is a pity that load and unload their accounts entirely by hand – with a shovel. Offer readers the trailer-truck with tipper body. Having made yourself this, you can get rid of the problems when unloading.
During fabrication of the models all of us often have to process with high precision perpendicular and aligned the holes for the bearings and bushings in housings, crankcases, engines and other complex pieces. For this run, using the device proposed by the Leningrad automodellista master of sports of international class N. Trinium.
Held in 2013 in the suburban town of Zhukovsky the International aerospace salon (MAKS-2013) successfully demonstrated their work to the young “rocket scientists”. Very popular with the audience enjoyed the exhibition of rocketmodeler of Elektrostal in Moscow region called “missiles of the Fatherland.” In this work, young technicians syut clearly demonstrated in the models in scale 1:25, the initial stage in the development of a missile shield of our country.
the Outcome was a foregone conclusion. Although the cruiser before the battle carefully laid sandbags, worthy of protection from fire heavy and rapid-fire artillery to make they are unable. And the white color of the sides of peacetime against a dark shore only contributed to the transformation of the “Castilla” is a good target. If early in the fight the fires from numerous hits of shells of medium caliber has been able to take control, the first exploding in the infirmary 203-mm projectile, which put an end to the suffering of the wounded were there, caused a fire with such force, to extinguish which it was no longer possible. Just a few minutes another American projectile of the same caliber exploded in the engine room and caused one of the strongest fire. But under the forecastle came the third the same projectile, the commander of the cruiser Morgado realized that if he doesn’t start the immediate evacuation of personnel, the entire crew just burn to death.
When gluing various small items to be tightly pressed against the connecting part is very difficult. Resorted to using masking tape, and rubber bands, and thread. I was faced with such a necessity when collecting receiver of direct amplification and you had to glue the ferrite high frequency transformer. A kind of vise, or clamp, Read more…
This question — wittingly or unwittingly — touched the journal, many authors, enthusiasts, Amateur microelementary. They are often not limited to theoretical reasoning, and embodied his ideas in metal, being able to create interesting designs. This process continues: such are the inexorable laws of technological progress. So the answer to the question: “How to be a self-made little micro-car for city driving”?, let’s say, ten years will differ significantly from what we can say today. Many of attendant factors and circumstances — the emergence of new structural materials, new technologies, new operating conditions, the status of energy resources, the evolution of social conditions and much more everyday to change the demands which the life makes to be vehicles of personal (individual) use.
