How to make a plasticine truck?

Boys sometimes get tired of playing with purchased toys, and then homemade ones come to the rescue. An excellent pastime will be modeling a truck from plasticine. First you should try to make a small model. When you get some skills, you can safely move on to more complex models with more details.

At first glance, making a plasticine truck is very easy. However, it is important to take into account some of the nuances in advance and prepare everything you need.

• Oilcloth and backing will protect the table and allow you to quickly clean the workplace after sculpting.
• An apron and armbands or a special work gown will keep your clothes clean.
• A set of plastic stacks simplifies work and allows for better detailing.
• A set of multi-colored plasticine. Of course, gray, blue, white, yellow, red and black colors are most often chosen for trucks. As a rule, the cabin is made bright, and the body itself is made of more muted paints. For wheels, regular black plasticine will be the best option.

KAMAZ made of plasticine is very popular not only for boys, but also for girls. To make it, you will need gray, blue and black plasticine bars. It is quite easy to make such a toy step by step. First, you should knead the gray plasticine well in your hands until it is completely softened. You also need to prepare a box in advance that fits the shape. This will make it possible to save plasticine consumption and make the body more reliable.

When the material is ready to work, it should be spread with a thin layer on cardboard, so that the body is obtained. You also need to knead the blue block, and then create a ball out of it. It is necessary to attach the ball to the body while the plasticine is still very soft, in order to improve the adhesion of parts. To get a cabin, you need to flatten the ball on both sides and slightly in front, so that the hood becomes more noticeable.

The wheels must be made of black block so that they turn out to be flat. On one side, they need to attach round cakes made of gray plasticine. They should be cut around the circumference with the help of a stack to get a pattern, like on disks near wheels. The finished wheels are attached to the car. In this case, two should be located on the cab, and two on the body.

A windshield should be glued on the front of the cab made of white plasticine, and on the sides - rear-view mirrors. White glass must also be attached to the sides of the cab. The outlines of the doors are carved using a stack. The front part of the cab is decorated with a bumper and headlights.

If desired, the truck can be supplemented with other small elements. To make it more interesting to play with KAMAZ, you can fill the body with some kind of cargo.

Another version of the truck for children assumes that the trailer will be completely enclosed. The production of such a toy in stages is as follows. At the first stage, knead the gray plasticine, and then apply it in an even layer on a cardboard box of the required size.

For the manufacture of a cabin, it is better to give preference to bright colors, for example, red. After softening, a ball is made from it. Each side must gently press it against the modeling board. Thus, you get a cube that should be beveled from one side.

Both parts must be connected together. Moreover, this must be done quite quickly, while the plasticine is still soft. This will make the mount more reliable.

Four wheels are made of black plasticine. In this case, the rear ones should be made a little more massive than the front ones. In the center of each of the wheels, poke a hole with the body of a pencil. This stage ends with their attachment to the car.

Windows are created from white or blue plasticine, which are molded onto the body. These will be the windshield and side windows. A sloped roof is attached above the cab, and small rear-view mirrors are attached to the sides.

With your own hands, you can mold a more complex, but also more interesting model of KAMAZ. It will look like a real cartoon car. To sculpt such a fascinating toy, you will need red, blue, yellow, white, orange and black plasticine. Best of all, the process of creating a figurine is displayed in the following instruction.

• At the first stage, you need to warm up a red plasticine block and roll a small ball out of it.
• Then it is turned into a rectangle, which will become the basis for the truck. Cut them using a stack to get even edges.
• A pair of bars is also made from red plasticine, which will then turn into axles for car wheels.
• The base-rectangle is attached to the resulting bars.
• The next step is sculpting the wheels. To do this, four balls of the same size must be molded from black plasticine. Then they are flattened a little and a depression is made in the center. On the sides of the cakes, which turned out, it is necessary to apply strips in a stack to simulate tires.
• The resulting wheels are attached to the axle bars.
• Wheel rims are made of orange plasticine. To do this, you need to mold 4 small identical balls, which then turn into cakes. It is necessary to fasten each of them in the center of the wheel.
• Three thin sausages are created from a blue bar, from which the body is then made. In this case, it is necessary to leave a small space under the cab.Each of the sausages is formed into a rectangle and then molded to the base of the machine so that an empty body is obtained.
• The cabin is made of yellow plasticine, which is molded onto the free space on the base.
• The headlights are made in the form of two balls of the same size from orange plasticine. The balls are flattened before fastening. In the center of the resulting headlights, you should stick on a cake of yellow plasticine. This will make the cockpit more interesting.
• The roof for the cab is made of rectangular shape. It is best to use orange plasticine for her.
• For installation on the roof, you need to make three more headlights in orange-yellow, as described above.
• Glasses are made of light blue plasticine and glued to the cab.
