Overhaul of the bumper (part 1) — Toyota Corolla, 1.6 liter, 1988
So, to start this process, the child’s bedroom was chosen as a working room, it was winter and I didn’t really want to work in an iron garage.
The first step is to strengthen, and then mutilate your old bumper. Of course, there are many ways, but I settled on this one.
For rough filling of unnecessary space, a "foam cutter" was made from improvised means =)
a very cool activity cutting foam, only it stinks then it’s not childish
using glue or liquid nails (a bunch of options), we glue it, no special effort is needed
all unnecessary is cut off with a string for a scoundrel or you can make guides
for a very long time I couldn’t decide how to create the surface itself, the putty disappears immediately - dirt in the apartment, I thought to find thick cardboard - but alas, I didn’t find a suitable density anywhere, as a result, the choice fell on polycarbonate, the price is inflated, the only negative is the emerging ribs, but since I will cover it all with plasticine, this turned out to be the best option.
I glued it on silicone sticks, holds it quite tightly, I did not expect such a fortress.
I bought sculptural clay, I had never worked with it in such volumes before, more precisely, like most at school or kindergarten =) so I had to study, there is nothing complicated, the most important thing is to make an instrument or buy it somewhere.
you have to keep an eye on the symmetry.
in general, we spread and scrape, we spread and scrape ...
in some places it is very difficult to knock out plasticine of a certain shape, so it is better to use scraper stops. At the corners I used toothpicks to create a small corner type
continuation next year
joke =)
well, I filled it with plaster on the balcony, and the rest at home =) let's
forgive the newspapers and go ahead
And is it all at home?
you brought a bumper home and started chemistry there)) well done)
I took a sheet of 1200 * 2500 for about $ 10, I had enough with my head, there was still a piece left
Well, there are no words, listen, how much does polycarbonate cost, is it expensive at all?
Thanks for the respect and praise =)
So far I have dug up only one place on the plasticine, it is in the center near the region. The traffic police is like some kind of shopping complex, there is a department for artists, that's where I took it. At a price of about 15 UAH per 0.8 kg. sometimes black and olive, I don’t know why, but olive is more expensive and they always run out quickly.
Here it is clear that a person has the right hands!
RESPECT TO YOU! ! !
PS tell me where in the Dnieper sculptural plasticine is sold and if possible, the price please!
polycarbonate, sold in construction stores, mainly used for transparent awnings, frankly, it is not very suitable, its cross section is like that of europanels and therefore the surface is in small waves, I was looking for polystyrene, but alas, I didn’t find it at a normal price, I had to buy it

OO handsome, I’m waiting for my plasticine, I’ll also chemicalize, there was an option with foam, but something fell off right away))))
It is better to roughly shape it with foam plastic, and then bring it out with plasticine
