Activity 6: Cutting Styrene Questions

Good morning!

I am not here today and a sub will be covering for me. Please be respectful and follow any directions you are given even if they are a little different that how I would ask. Being a sub is hard work and we need to appreciate their help.

Today, you are going to work respond to these questions based on the Eric Strebel video in the Part 3 section of Project 10. Respond to these questions in a Word file and upload that file to teams when you are done.

1. In what shapes can you purchase styrene?
2. Where can you purchase styrene?
3. What is interesting and useful about most styrene tubing?
4. What is one suppler of styrene stock?
5. What are hobby models made from?
6. What glues work well for styrene?
7. How can you bond PVC to styrene?
8. What technique for glue application does Strebel use?
9. What type of cutting tools does Strebel use?
10. How does styrene solvent weld work?
11. What is the trade-off of using a kicker for CA (super) glue?

Project 9: Modular Ruined Walls

We are going to follow Black Magic Craft's tutorial and make some interesting walls. I will be providing you with the foam and paint that you need to make these walls. To get familiar, watch the video to see the steps: Instead of using chipboard for the supports, we are going to use scrap cardboard. So, that's your first challenge for today. Look around and see if you can find some scrap cardboard that you can use for this project. Make sure that it's relatively clean (no pizza boxes or things that might be greasy) and not a box that someone is using for something. Carefully cut this scrap into rectangle sizes. 8 inches by 10 inches would be good. Be carful if you are cutting this material. It's easy to loose control of the scissors or knife. Post in the chat your pile of cardboard scrap to prove that you are ready to make some walls!

Inspiration: Book Nooks

I don't know if you have ever heard of these, but I think that book nooks are really cool and an excellent way to do dioramas without devoting a ton of space to them.

2/26 Asynchronous Day

Today we are going to continue working on all the projects listed on Teams and on this website. If you are going to pick up Kit #2 in the bookstore, please make sure that you filled out the permission slip before you go. You can find that form in the Files sections of Teams. Have a great weekend!
