I said I would make some pics of some of the most basic parts shaping in card modeling.
First I will say I'm no expert on the subject.The methodes I use may vary from others.But this is how I do things, and they work for me. |
| The coned parts are used a lot in cardmodels as parts of the front end on fuselages on planes,propeller cones,parts in tyres,and other coned objects.First we cut out the piece and if there are a joining tab on it...cut it away and glue it on the back side of the part.In that case you wont have the edge showing. | |
| Next I place the part inside my hand and have a rounded object ready. The size of the rods I use vary.Smaller diameter on the rods gives tighter cones. | |
| Then I roll the rod against the part applying pressure to it.Remember to hold the angle against the edges of the part.And now we can see it curles up behind the rod | |
| Do this until the cone is so tight that it overlaps itselves a bit | |
| When you are happy with the shape glue it together | |
