Ak 47 from paper. How it's done, how it works, how it works. Briefly about the types of models
Today I would like to highlight a hobby that millions of people around the world are fond of. This is a paper model. Surely, some of your acquaintances are or were engaged in modeling - aircraft / ship modeling, wood modeling, assembling plastic models (tanks, planes), etc. In a word, the business is interesting, and the results of successful work please even more, and especially please your guests.
But if almost everyone knows about the above, then not many people guess about the craftsmen who assemble voluminous and beautiful paper models. Although it is unlikely that you will find a material more accessible and more subject to processing than paper. Another of the obvious advantages of this direction is that the entire process of creating a model can be done at home, because. special tools / machines are not required here.
Briefly about the types of models
Yes, and the very paper modeling is also different. Under the same direction fall and different kinds origami, and this is already a whole warehouse of directions. In this article I would like to show volumetric (3D, 3d) paper modeling. I still doubt the correctness of the formulation of this direction, but oh well. In general, you will see and understand everything.
Models vary in size and complexity. Here the main factor is the number of sheets of drawings in A4. From what you need to start - paper (you can use a “snow maiden”, sometimes you need a denser one - cardboard), scissors, a ruler (preferably two), a pencil, glue (different ones are suitable, but the PVA moment turned out to be dearer to me). Perhaps that's all. We search the Internet for the request “download paper models” sites, download models, print and get to work. For starters, I would recommend the Canon Creative Park website. There models are presented with clear instructions "for dummies" and other beginners. Actually, I started with this, here are a couple of my undertakings:
The legendary machine gun of all times and peoples - AK 47 made of paper.
Well, it's time to arm yourself with a worthy weapon, the pride of our vast country - the AK 47 assault rifle (Kalashnikov assault rifle). You have the opportunity to glue the deadly AK 47 with your own hands and put the entire dean's office, school, office, neighbors on the ears ... underline as necessary. And if the machine is still strengthened and painted, then there will be an atas in general!
A scan of the AK 47 assault rifle made of paper takes 10 pages in pepakura and, compared to analogues, is not so difficult to assemble. Although there is something to bend over with tweezers at the ready. For all connoisseurs of weapons, this copy is required for gluing.
We are glad to present you another version of the paper Kalashnikov assault rifle scan. This time she came to us from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The model has its own characteristics and even visually differs somewhat from the first version. It takes 12 pages, but is shorter than the first one by 7 cm. For many, this version of the Kalashnikov assault rifle will not only be easier to make with your own hands, but also better due to good textures.
Often children ask their parents to make some kind of wooden toy for them. The boys demand that weapons be made for them, with which one could continue endless yard wars. The best option for a child would be a fake 47th made of wood. How to make an AK-47 from wood? With the right tool, even a beginner can handle this task. Information on how to make AK-47 from wood with your own hands is presented in the article.
Where to begin?
For everyone who is interested in how to make AK-47 from wood, craftsmen recommend first of all to acquire high-quality raw materials. The product will turn out to be reliable and strong if you use a pine board with a thickness of at least 50 mm for work. In addition, you need to have an appropriate drawing.
About manufacturing
All elements of the machine are made of wood. For those who do not know how to make AK-47 out of wood, so that the dummy looks as realistic as possible, experienced craftsmen recommend equipping the product with a removable magazine. The blank of the future product is cut out of the board using a jigsaw. For the side walls of the machine, you will need two sheets of plywood. In the future, they will cover the fastening of the store. It can be made from the same board as the dummy machine. The movement of the magazine in the fastening mechanism will be carried out without delay, if in it, using a file, and then a grinder, carefully grind all the corners. PVA is suitable for gluing the side walls. The process can be optimized using a tool such as clamps. Securely fastened parts to be joined should be left to dry for several hours.
About the dummy barrel
For this element, you need a cylindrical blank. You can make it yourself on a lathe or purchase a finished product in a store. The barrel must be equipped with a front sight. It will have to be cut out of wood yourself. In addition, for the muzzle of the machine gun, the bed must be equipped with holes. They will turn out even if you work on a special stand for a drill. After the muzzle holes are ready, cylindrical blanks are inserted into them. Then, with the help of PVA, an already turned and carefully polished front sight is glued to the barrel.
About painting work
In addition to the question of how to make an AK-47 out of wood, many are still interested in what paint is best to cover an already finished product. The dummy will look very realistic, experts advise, if oak color paint is applied to it.
It is water based. It also looks good dummy, painted black. On top of the nitro paint, some craftsmen also varnish their products.
How to make an AK-47 from a garden shovel aslan wrote in February 11th, 2017
In Russia, there have always been craftsmen who surprised the world with their skills and inventions. We are especially good at making weapons. So the Izhevsk master Mikhail Kalashnikov created the legendary AK-47 assault rifle, which inspired another master to create a copy of it from a simple garden shovel and iron pipes.
And by the way, this is not a Russian craftsman at all.
On the left in the photo, by the way, is the same machine gun from a shovel, and on the right sniper rifle Dragunov (SVD).
But we are getting ahead of ourselves.
The master who made it comes from the USA. Once he was driving past a store with garden tools, saw a shovel there and decided to buy it. This was the best deal you could get for $2, he thought.
The shovel handle, by the way, later turned into a stock and is surprisingly quite comfortable.
I decided to try on the butt on the old Kalash. The cat looks in bewilderment, is the owner drunk again?
I cut off the tray from the shovel, the body of the machine will be made from it.
I burned it well on the fire.
Now you need to align this sheet of iron.
We bend the sheet, we drill holes.
To the left is a detail from the real "Kalash", to the right of the future.
Specialists, who are always numerous in the comments, will tell you what kind of detail it is.
More details.
We weld
It was the turn of the barrel, you could buy the original for 200 bucks, but they preferred the economy option for 30 bucks.
Below in the photo - the upper barrel from a real "Kalash", in the middle is a ready-made factory version of the barrel and the third, collective-farm version - our choice.
We process the trunk.
Trying on.
We finish the details.
We weld parts from a real machine.
There is very little left.
We drill a hole for the removal of gases.
We try on the store, and the butt from the shovel, everything seems to fit!
What is most surprising is that he shoots, and at the same time, bullets fall quite heaps.
After 60 shots, the barrel warmed up slightly, but my homemade AK-47 performed quite well.
In total, at minimal cost, we get a pretty good, combat-ready weapon. Thanks to Mikhail Kalashnikov for his great invention!
If you have something to add, dear weapons experts, please comment.
Provocative srach about Russia, Ukraine and Putin in the ban without warning.
