Exoskeleton Car Model
After seeing some pictures of Exo cars I started making a model.I tried to make the xtegra.
This is the first exoskeleton paper model over the internet.
Supplies
You only need 5 materials for making this car:
1.) Paper
2.) German Glue
3.) Bottle caps x4
4.) Drinking straws x2
5.) Shashlik Sticks x2
Chassis
I started by making long pipes of paper by rolling them and then glued their ends using German glue.I made 20 pipes and let them dry.
After they dried i cut the ends of these about 1 inch because they were soft and had no strength.
Then i cut out the base out of a paper and started pasting these pipes by cutting them with a paper cutter.
Wheel Base+Front Skeleton
After i created the base i glued a straw in the rear, added exhausts, and front skeleton.you should glue a straw in the front too.i didn't and ended up with a lot of problems in the front. Remember use German glue as it is hard when dried.I completed each step in one day.
To make exhausts i used 2 different sized straws and then coloured them with a silver marker after fitting them together.
Engine and Radiator
sorry for the pic
The radiator was made by the method of the folding paper fan and then pasting a pencil eraser.
the engine was just a box on which i glued random stuff.
Wind Screen
i painted the wheels, made a hole, and a made a stick stuck in it. put the axle in the straw and put the other wheel on the axle.
for the wind screen i folded the paper pipe and glued the first side, after it dried i glued the other side and to hold it there i used a peg.
the rear skeleton was also made by the same method.
Rear Frame
Now I did the same thing for the rear.
Rear Skeleton
Now I made the rear skeleton and tried to fix the front wheels which could steer but I failed. The front was a huge problem.
Spoiler
You can make any of the spoilers if you want but it didn't look good on my car so i didn't put it.
Final Step Lights
This day I glued a vertical bar in the rear and glued some pieces of cardboard as lights.
now paint it any colour you like.
don't drive it over 1km/h or it will crash.drive safe.
