Construction in Thailand Is building in Thailand as bad as it seems? Can properties really be built and fitted out to European standards? Would you like to Build your own house in Phuket, or a swimming pool in Bangkok? Solar water heating in Pattaya? Or maybe you want to build a resort or guesthouse on Koh Samui? If you want to build a luxury house in Thailand then this is the forum for you.

Model making for beginners

am in oz at the moment visiting the family, my 12 year old nephew is on school holidays so seeing as its been raining we have decided to make a model.

firstly get yourself some materials, we have some balsa wood, cutters, glue,rulers, pencils, scissors and some sand paper.

heres a set of drawings we have laying around.
you will need elevations and floor plans.
these ones are scaled 1:100 so its fairly easy to measure everything.

here we have glued some of the wood together to make a base, and then cut out the floor plan.

its important that the working area is clear and something that can be cut upon without worrying about damaging it.

next is to glue the floor plan to the wooden base, we have used ordinary paper glue.

accurately measure the wall lengths, heights, doors, windows and use the cutter to make the walls. the floor plan outline pasted on the wood is mainly a guide, (but will also show layout details once the model is complete) measurements are best taken from the dimensions provided on the elevations and floor plan.

the edges can be square but are best if sanded at 45 degree angles to butt up agains neighbouring walls, heres the nephew sanding away.

glue the walls together, using the floor plan as a guide. only two pieces can be glued at a time, but, in between, time can be spent making the next wall section.if using the 45 degree method then make sure they are accurate or gaps will appear. you can see how the floor plan shows the room layout and door openings.

cartoons are on now, so we will continue tomorrow.

Fantastic stuff. When back in the UK I build model boats with my godsons, and their Dad. We then blow them up on the pond out the back. Great fun, black powder etc.

The boys are 6 and 8. They love it. Intense concentration for hours.

Willy, if you are interested in doing stuff like that with your boy, you may also like this site. All paper, but pretty good.

gotta make sure you have plenty of new blades, once the blade is blunt then it starts to tear the wood.

ok this is near the end of the session, heres the nephew getting his head around the roof. because its a plan then the roof lengths need to be calculated with some maths.
nothing a ruler, protractor, pen and a brain wont sort out though.

Architect in the making. Great to see someone spending time with kids. He will remember that long after the thrill of Xbox is gone.

This is a great idea. I am doing plans for a house and keep asking Mrs. bkk what she thinks of this and that. All I get is that’s nice so something like this could save a lot of problems down the road. Good thread.
