The active development of underwater shipbuilding can be dated back to the 17th century, although the idea itself goes back to ancient times. William Bowry, Cornelius van Drebbel, Robert Fulton proposed new designs for an underwater vessel, tested it and modified it. In practice, the first boats were used by the Americans during civil war at the end of the 18th century. Just two centuries later, submarines began to be introduced into the navies of many countries and played an important role in wars, as well as during exploration. sea depths. We suggest you do original craft DIY submarine.

Master class: DIY submarine
1) Empty the contents of the cracker. Trace the antiperspirant cap onto the surface of the cracker and cut out a hole. Glue the cap to the cracker and you have a chopping block. You can make holes in the cap with an awl and insert an antenna or periscope, which can be easily constructed from cotton swabs.
2) You need to make a cone out of cardboard so that its base is equal to the diameter of the cracker. This cone will become the stern of our submarine.
3) Cut out the blades for the aft part from cardboard, which will serve as rudders, as well as bow and stern rudders.
4) Glue the cardboard parts onto the cone; you can make slits so that the parts are held more securely. Bow rudders are glued to the bow of the boat.
5) From tin can cut a propeller with 6 blades and bend them slightly. Make a hole in the center and insert a match into it. Secure the screw to the stern part.
6) Now it remains ready product paint. Very convenient to use aerosol can, but acrylic paints are also suitable. The submarine looks original in black, but you can make it gray or green.
7) Draw the tail number in white acrylic paint or proofreader. You can also print or cut out the numbers. If you want to give someone a submarine, you can also draw or stick the name of the future owner of the submarine as a hull number.
The submarine is ready with your own hands, all you have to do is wait for the paint to dry. All crafts can be viewed in the crafts section.
DIY submarine, military themed craft

William Bowry, Cornelius van Drebbel, Robert Fulton proposed new designs for an underwater vessel, tested it and modified it. In practice, the first boats were used by the Americans during the Civil War at the end of the 18th century. Just two centuries later, submarines began to be introduced into the navies of many countries and played an important role in wars, as well as during exploration of the deep sea. We invite you to make an original submarine craft with your own hands.

7) Draw the side number with white acrylic paint or corrector. You can also print or cut out the numbers. If you want to give someone a submarine, you can also draw or stick the name of the future owner of the submarine as a hull number.

We present you another active toy. As in the previous article, you will see a video of the finished product in action and read a description of the manufacturing process. You will not have any difficulties with making it, even if the mother makes the toy together with the child.
To begin with, about the advantages of do-it-yourself toys:
1. The child learns to work with his hands
2. The child learns to think outside the box and begins to understand that what he will miss in life can be made with his own hands from available materials.
3. The child will begin to understand that the made toy is more interesting than the purchased one.
4. You will spend time with the child (1-2 hours)
5. The toy does not require money to buy and replace batteries.
6. A child will play with a handmade toy for a long time.
7. You can take the toy to the sea and forget it there. It’s not a pity to lose it, but to make a new one at home.
8. The child learns the principles of elementary mechanics and physics and will then apply them in life and with his children.
You will need: 2 shampoo tubes, 2 paper clips, 2-4 rubber bands, wooden stick. Tools: scissors, awl, pliers, glue, sharp knife, gloves.
1. Take the first tube for the body (a specially chosen transparent one) and glue the lid from the second one to it to simulate cutting. It must be glued tightly, because only the deckhouse keeps the boat afloat.
2. On the top and bottom sides of the case we make 2 holes with an awl to fill the water from below and let all the air out of the case.
3. We make 2 holes in the front part and insert an elastic band into each one inside the body, so that only the ears remain. We pass a paper clip through the remaining ears, connecting the elastic bands together. If you insert 2 rubber bands into the holes, the speed and swimming distance will increase.
4. Glue a couple of heavy bolts or nuts inside to the bottom of the body as a load. Without a load, the boat will float on its side. The greater the load against the cutting, the deeper the dive. You can achieve any depth at which the boat will float without sinking to the bottom. Experiment. We placed a small weight for demonstration so that half of the cutting was on the surface.
5. The most difficult thing will be to cut out a screw from a piece of wood with a knife. Draw a fastening square in the middle. Place the stick on the cutting circle and use a knife to cut the left corner down from the marked square. Repeat the operation on the other sides to create two blades pointing in different directions.
6. Make a hole in the middle of the left square screw. To do this, heat the awl red-hot over the burner and burn through the wood. The process is fast. 3-4 burns are enough. Make a second hole nearby at 4 mm.
7. Thread a large paper clip or wire into the center hole of the screw, bend the tip and insert it into the hole nearby to secure it.
8. Bend the second end of the screw clip into a hook, insert it into the body and put both rubber bands on it. Screw on the cap.
After production, the child paints and complements the boat at his own discretion.
What could be a better gift for a sailor on Defender's Day than a model ship? Let it be the simplest one, but made with your own hands! A chic submarine model is easy to make from the simplest and most unexpected materials.
You will need:
- body from a large firecracker;
- a smooth plastic ball (Christmas tree, for example), with a diameter suitable for a cracker;
- a cap from an antiperspirant (the cap from Mennen Speed Stick fits perfectly);
- cardboard;
- tin lid from preservation;
- 1 match;
- 1 cotton swab;
- scissors;
- awl;
- glue;
- black paint in a can.
Manufacturing:
The hull of the boat will be a firecracker on which all other parts of the submarine are attached.
We cut a hole approximately in the middle of the firecracker body into which we insert the cap - the wheelhouse (fencing of retractable devices).
We make the stern part of the boat from a cardboard cone. We also cut out the rudders, bow and stern depth rudders from cardboard.
You can secure the steering wheels by making protrusions on them and slots in the body: this is more reliable, but more difficult. It's easier to fold the edges and glue them tail unit to the cone.
Using scissors (not manicure scissors, but good cutting scissors), cut out a screw from the tin lid. Having bent the blades, we make a hole in the center with an awl and secure the propeller to the stern using an axis made from a match. The submarine's propeller even spins! If it's difficult to make 6 blades, try three or four.
We glue the stern part to the hull - the hardest part of the job is done!
The nose part is much easier to make: you just need to insert the ball into the body of the firecracker about halfway and secure it tightly. You will get the rounded nose of a submarine.
Stepping back a little, we glue the bow depth rudders.
Having made two holes in the roof of the superstructure with an awl heated on a fire, we insert an antenna and a periscope made from the rod of a cotton swab: one is shorter, the other is longer.
Assembly is complete, it's time to start painting.
The fastest and easiest way to paint our boat is from a spray can. What a beauty it turned out to be! The only thing missing is the tail number.
It can be written using a proofreader, but it is better to make it clear and beautiful by printing white letters and numbers on a black background and gluing it to the boat’s superstructure on both sides.
