Introduction to Making A Ride-On Toy Clay Model:
The clay model is a car body model with a clay sculpture in traditional body design. It is mainly used to express the actual effect of car styling for designers and decision-makers to verify.
Since the styling is actually a sculpture process, it is necessary to use a sludge that is easy to process by hand and easy to modify. In the clay model production and development, the clay used in the body shape is similar to the general plasticine, but the requirements are higher.
The main components of the sludge are 62% talc, 30% Vaseline and 8% industrial wax. The stylist puts it on the wooden skeleton and uses a scraper, a blade and other tools to shape it, and sculptures the shape of the car in a certain proportion. A 1:5 small sludge model is usually produced first, and a 1:1 large model is produced after validation.
The clay model production method:
Baking sludge: Before the clay model is made, it is necessary to bake the sludge to soften
2.Recycling sludge: In addition to convenient molding, the sludge can be recycled and reused.
3. Filling the sludge: Filling the sludge can only be applied one layer after another, and the first layer of sludge should not be applied too thick.
4. Rough Scraping Mud: Rough scraping mud, also known as the first scraping mud. According to the template or the drawing, the excess part of the bulge is removed, the recessed area is filled, and the datum of the clay model is shaped to determine the large shape.
5. After the sludge is completed: The model should be confirmed again, and the comparison should be repeated to confirm that the shape is completely correct. The connection, transition and smoothness of each surface must meet the design requirements.
