Making a Parachute 制作降落伞

[Building the Parachute] 降落伞的制作
First problem was to decide what material to use; it had to be something thin. After attempts with handkerchief paper, plastic bags and even a window curtain I saw something in my wife’s kitchen (picture 1).
首先要面对的问题是，拿什么材料来做降落伞，它必须得是一种薄薄的东西。在尝试了手帕、塑料袋甚至窗帘布之后，我终于在LP的厨房间找到了我要的东西（见图1）。
I’m not sure what its ‘official’ name is, but it’s something like kitchen foil. It's thin but not too flexible.
Planning how to add the parachute lines was done by using a technical drawing of the lines and transferring it to a long strip of paper (pictures 2 and 3.)
我不知道这种材料的学名到底叫什么，好像是厨房箔类的东西。它很薄但不不是很柔软。接下来要好好计划下怎么制作伞绳了，按照伞的样子画好伞绳的线条，并把它们画到一张长纸片上（见图2、3）。
Shaping the thin material was problem no. 2. I used my son’s balloon and fixed it on some round box. Then I cover it with the kitchen foil. Wrap the line strip (picture 3) around the balloon and secure the foil with a rubber band (picture 4.) The upper half on the balloon will be the parachute canvas.
给这种薄薄的材料定型也是个问题。我找到了儿子的一个气球，然后把它固定在圆盒子里。我把那个厨房箔类品套在气球上面，然后把画有线条的纸片（见图3）绕到气球上面，再用橡皮圈（见图4）把箔固定好。气球的上半部分就成了降落伞伞布了。
[Painting] 上色
Now the funny part starts. White glue has to be spread all over the upper canvas part, but very thinly. The first layer of white glue was mixed with water but just a little. Add some paint to the white glue mix (picture 5.) This will make sure any glossy white from the glue won’t show through anywhere.
接下来，有意思的部分就要开始了。先把白胶涂到上半部分的伞布上，要稀疏一点。涂第一层白胶时，里面要掺少量的水。在胶水混合液力添加些颜料（见图5），这样可以确保白胶干了以后反光得不是太厉害。
The first layer is very thin (picture 6.) The second layer was pure white glue and paint (picture 7.)
第一层要薄一些（见图6），第二层再涂上只掺有颜料的白胶（见图7）。
[Strings] 伞绳
Then strings have to be attached over the canvas. The strings are plain thread for sewing which was run through candle wax to keep thin wisps of thread from separating. Use the guide strip attached earlier to help positioning the strings. Wrap the string from one site over the top to the other side.
现在，我们要把伞绳拴到伞布上了。伞绳是拿用于缝补的细线制成的，把这些细线在蜡里面走走，这样可以避免线出现分叉。最好先穿些引导线，以用于伞绳的正确定位。把伞绳从一头穿过伞顶再穿到另一头。
Once again white glue was brushed on, but only over the strings on canvas (picture 8.) After that, let it dry and than paint.
再涂一遍白胶，只是这次只要给伞布上的伞绳刷下就可以了（见图8）。然后，等干了之后再上色。
[Positioning] 定位
Some thin wire is inserted under canvas to help shape the final positioning. This helps to make it look like it's inflated with wind. I guess that’s all folks. Hope you like it and even use this technique for your future
projects.
在伞布的底下要插入些细线，以保证最后的定型。这样，看上去就有了风吹以后胀开的感觉了。我想应该差不多了吧，希望这个小技巧能对你们未来的场景制作有帮助。
