Construction
|
Cut two identical rectangles of foam board. Glue them together with PVA, face to face. These will be the basic structure of your crate
|
Cut rectangles of balsa sheet and stick them to the sides and top of the foam board box with PVA. You can use the foam board box to measure out the rectangles before cutting. |
Score 'planks' into the balsa wood. To do this, you can use the opposite end of a scalpel blade to the one you would normally cut with, but be careful not to cut your fingers. Glue reinforcement strips to the lid. Just use two small strips of balsa of the same thickness as the sheet. |
Painting
|
This painting technique is suitable for all wood effects, and can be used on metal figures as well as actual balsa wood. |
