HOW TO MAKE LIGHT MODEL FOR WIG

Why we must make model?
1. as a hobby
2. for resistance test, wind tunnel test,pmm test,oscillation test,etc (for collect data)
3. for running test ,flight test
4. for other purpose (stress cure...hahaha..kidding..depend on you purpose ...:p)

STEPS

1.Material Selection
Material selection is very important in making a wig model.I use the following material :

a. WIG Frame
I'm using hard cardboard to make a frame because it is very easy to cut

b. Body Shape
I use Styrofoam to make the body shape because it is very easy to set up

c. Glue
For frame ---> hot glue
For Foam ----> epoxy glue (choose suitable glue for Styrofoam)

d. Putty
Please choose special putty for Styrofoam. For this case I have been use
this product ( only for reference depend on your budget)

damage surface of the Styrofoam.
