We don't want you to worry, and get your geometric instruments ready as we, at Cuemath, are here to help you understand the geometric constructions in a clear way. Geometric construction is the process of drawing a geometrical figure using two geometrical instruments, a compass, and a ruler. We use a ruler to draw line segments and measure their lengths. To carry out this construction, we will use the fact that any point on the perpendicular bisector of a line segment is equidistant from the two end-points of the line segment.
Step 2: Let the two points of the intersection so obtained be P and Q. Draw a line through P and Q. This is the required perpendicular bisector. Isn't it interesting to realize the fact that these orange and green lines will go on forever but will never meet? We will learn how to construct parallel lines using a ruler and a compass. Experiment with the simulation below to visualize this process by clicking the 'GO' button.
Use the simulation below to visualize the steps of construction for angle bisector by clicking the 'GO' button. Perpendicular bisector passes through the midpoint of the given segment. If a ray divides an angle into two equal angles, then it is an angle bisector. The green and blue lines are parallel, and M and N are points on the green and blue lines respectively. This means that the perpendicular distance from M to the blue line is equal to the perpendicular distance from N to the green line.
Hence, this distance is equal to 6 units. In fact, the shortest distance between the two lines is the perpendicular distance between them. The mini-lesson targeted the fascinating concept of geometric constructions. The math journey around geometric constructions starts with what a student already knows, and goes on to creatively crafting a fresh concept in the young minds. Done in a way that not only it is relatable and easy to grasp, but also will stay with them forever. Here lies the magic with Cuemath.
At Cuemath , our team of math experts is dedicated to making learning fun for our favorite readers, the students! Through an interactive and engaging learning-teaching-learning approach, the teachers explore all angles of a topic. Parallel lines are a pair of lines that never cut intersect or meet each other, and they lie on the same plane. Geometric construction. Book a Free Class. Austin is a civil engineer.
He needs an accurate map to construct a building and design the tools. Oil Paint Techniques — using deep blues and greens Mig explains how to add depth to your military model while decolouration using an oil based pin wash is demonstrated on a Kingtiger tank, while dirt effects using oils are shown, as is the benefits on certain vehicles colours against others.
Highlighting is made easy and explained by the author as well. Rain Marks — With a lot of AFV modelling focussed on either the northern colder climates or tropical Asia you could imagine that this topic would be popular!
Using enamels and rain effects are better described here. Thirty three pages of information help describe the basic techniques along to all of the advanced uses better than I have ever been explained.
Even better than that video of a barrel everyone has watched on you tube. I want to jump on the bandwagon now and chip away like everyone else!! Chipping and hairspray are explained as are the differences in the techniques; winter chipping and engine wear are explained in lots of text and pages of many many pictures — large and small — of the process in action.
Chipping — Again this is a large section of text reserved for this subject. Through to the techniques he uses. Again here many pictures of many different examples of the effects in practice make it easy to follow what the text is relaying to you.
The art of chipping using brushes, sponges, hairspray and even salt are described here is detail with plenty of shots. Rust — The science of oxidization and rusting is briefly described and shown in the real world. Then the techniques of streaking rust and accumulated rust are discussed right through to the model of a completely rusted out hulk of a Panzer. IV completely taken over by rust. Dust effects — the lighter dust effect is shown in action here, several pages dedicated to the realistic application of dust on first vertical and then horizontal surface as well as the most used — dust in the desert.
Mud Effects — again very popular with modellers from all scenes, both dry and wet mud are shown in application here, in separate little lessons, added to the mix is the application of splashed mud.
Mig shows how and what materials you use to get the effects as well as how to fake it with subtle touches to recreate the realistic tones needed. Mig explains how we see these forms of weathering every day and explains the characteristics of each briefly before showing how to achieve these on your model. Mig also gets to show off with the oil effect he helped create here as he talks us through applying oils stains and also spilt fuel.
How to paint tracks — This is a good one to have here. Good and bad tracks are so noticeable on a kit - here is the remedy! Painting rusted static tracks is also demonstrated here again this and the rest of these sections have a myriad of illustrated shots to help you through the descriptions.
There are too many individual sections to go through here and describe what is said without going too long too late but they are: Metal using graphite, pigments and other products, fallen leaves, dry transfers, headlights and licence plates and using quick wheel masks. These are all given the proper treatment with just enough text and lots of great pictures. Section 5. A great topic — this is explained as to the importance of adding them to your scene and talking about the condition you will show them in.
Mig takes us through with a double page or a page spread on each of the main accessories you would find lying on a vehicle or a battlefield. Mig explains it all here over several pages and I know — I have said it lots and lots of pictures.
But very good pictures! Thirty seven pages are put aside next for dioramas. Mig talks us through the theory and the composition of small dioramas. Dioramas are my favourite subject and I have read this section several times since first finishing this book.
Several dioramas are shown from scratch through to conclusion, I get the feeling he knows how to cook up a good diorama! You will learn too if you pay attention while reading this. Next is the pay off — or the bragging rights it depends on if you made the model or not — Fourty two pages of open spreads taken of each of the vehicles shown here to be in many different scales here in this book which were used to describe the techniques.
You can see these on simple backgrounds of monochrome colours in their full glory. Part of me would love to see these in a diorama setting, but that would take away from the focus on the results gleaned from learning about these techniques step by step. They all look great and are as aspiring as they are perfect. People he has met through his passion modelling. It really comes through in the writing of this book that the people were the inspiration for this book.
You can tell that the author really loves modelling and the opportunities to meet fellow modellers through making publications like this one. There are several pages of Mig meeting modellers from around the world — and I suppose that is why we all go to shows, to show off our great creations and share knowledge.
That is what has happened to us here when we read this book.
