Hay steemit back together @jhonmaks today we will again apply a creative idea that we can do at home because when we accustom to creative thinking is always automatically thought patterns we will get used to always move forward.

Today we will make miniature fiberglass plane, so keep reading this article so you can make it at home.

To make this miniature aircraft you must have enough expertise to form the airframe in accordance with the original. Here I will try to explain the steps.

Before starting to make a miniature plane with fiberglass materials should first prepare tools and the ingredients are his friends, here are the tools and materials you need to prepare.

Prepare Tools and Materials.

Tools.

  • Chainsaw.
  • Ruler.
  • Woodsmith.

  • Cutter.
  • Compressor.
  • Spray.
  • Gun.
  • Masks.
  • Rubber Gloves.

Material :

  • Easy wood in shape.
  • Putty.
  • paint & Thinner.
  • Wax Toys.
  • Resins & Catalysts.
  • Talk & Pigments Matters / Fibers.
  • FiberMirror Glazz.

If the above tools and materials are ready, go to the next process.

Prepare the Blueprint / Model Body Aircraft.

To find the model plane you can searcing on google or you can open the website maker aircraft directly like airbus, following example airbus model A330-300. Can be viewed at https://www.garuda-indonesia.com/en/id/garuda-indonesia-experience/fleets/seat-map.page?

Note the size and dimensions, the more references will allow you to make the airframe in accordance with the original course with a scale.

Print the frame image of the fuselage we have prepared into A4 paper. For some parts according to their original size.

After the print scissors in accordance with the picture. The cut image is used to make the body and other components using wood or clay. Adjust it with the existing ingredients yes gaes, do not be forced.

Create an Airplane Model As a Master.

After one day take the printout before, it will look half wing formed. For the other half do the same process, stay behind only. So there are two sides to be used for the printing process.
