When we look at the making of a sand table model, we will see the structure of the sand table as a whole. The shortcomings of each place will affect the overall effect. Just like a bucket of water, only when the height of each board is the same, can it be well filled with water. If one of the boards is short, it will affect the water content of the whole bucket.

而底盤的制作也是如此，如果底盤的制作的不好，別的部位做的再好，也會影響整體效果。下邊我們將給大家介紹下沙盤模型制作中的底盤。

And the production of chassis is the same. If the production of chassis is not good, no matter how good the other parts are, the overall effect will be affected. Next, we will introduce the chassis in the production of sand table model.

我們經(jīng)?？吹缴潮P模型制作，但是它的底盤是什么材料做的，你留意過嗎？你一定會說是木頭的或者是塑料的，其實你答對了一半。

We often see sand table model making, but what material is its chassis made of? Have you noticed? You must say it's wood or plastic, but you're half right.
             

沙盤模型的底盤通常是由PS板、KT板和木質底盤做的，還有天然石材、玻璃、石膏等。PS(聚苯乙烯板)與KT板具有質地輕、任性好、不變形等優(yōu)點，是普通紙材模型的俱佳材料。然而，成品PS板和KT板的切面難以磨平整，需要應用厚紙板、瓦楞紙或者其他裝飾型材封邊處理，保持外觀光潔。

The chassis of sand table model is usually made of PS board, KT board and wooden chassis, as well as natural stone, glass, gypsum, etc. PS (polystyrene board) and KT board have the advantages of light texture, good willfulness, no deformation and so on. They are both excellent materials for ordinary paper models. However, it is difficult to smooth the section of finished PS board and KT board, so it is necessary to use cardboard, corrugated paper or other decorative profiles for edge sealing to keep the appearance smooth.

底盤是沙盤模型的重要組成部分，它對主體模型起支撐作用。平整、穩(wěn)固、寬大是模型底盤制作的基本原則，在具體制作中還要考慮沙盤模型的整體風格、制作成本等因素。木質底盤質地渾厚，一般會保留原始木紋，或在表面釘接薄木裝飾板，裝飾風格要與沙盤模型主體相襯映，板材邊緣仍須釘接或者粘貼飾邊，避免底盤邊角產(chǎn)生開裂。

Chassis is an important part of sand table model, which supports the main model. Flat, stable and wide are the basic principles of the model chassis production. In the specific production, the overall style and production cost of the sand table model should also be considered. The wood chassis is thick in texture. Generally, the original wood grain will be retained, or the veneer decorative board will be nailed on the surface. The decorative style should be matched with the main body of the sand table model. The edge of the board still needs to be nailed or pasted with trimming to avoid cracking at the edges and corners of the chassis.

無論哪種材料的選擇，都是為了使沙盤模型的底盤起到裝飾效果，襯托起整個沙盤模型。底盤做的好，不僅會使整個沙盤模型顯得高大上，還會為整個沙盤模型起到錦上添花的作用。

No matter which material is selected, it is to make the chassis of the sand table model play a decorative effect and set off the whole sand table model. A good chassis will not only make the whole sand table model look tall, but also make the sand table model more beautiful.
