Model-Making Techniques

•Cutting: There are three methods of cutting: scissors, knife, and chisel.•Scissors are used for most curves •A knife guided by a straight edge is used for straight cuts. •Chisel cuts are useful for areas too small to get into with scissors.

•Scoring and folding:The purpose of the score is only to force the card to fold where you

want it to, without wrinkling.

•Gluing: Spread the glue in very thin, even coats, and it will dry quickly
