Designing a Car Cover Profile with Plasticine…
Designing a Car Decide on the profile of your car… Ensure Cartridge is covered by 3mm all around 3mm Profile sketched on or on card
Designing a Car As you cover the Profile with Plasticine… ensure that the height the of plasticine applied to the Jig is half the Width of the finished car, i.e between 45 and 60mm Plasticine & Wheels to be between 22.5 and 30mm Plasticine level to be no more then 30mm Plasticine at centre of car must be at least 22.5mm but no more than 30mm
Designing a Car Ensure Plasticine is smooth with no under cuts… Jig Undercut Jig
