Specification 3.6.1 · Paper 1
Revise: Manufacturing ProcessesFrame modelling joins strips of thin softwood or balsa into a rigid framework. Triangular card pieces called gussets are glued over the joints, overlapping the meeting strips to reinforce their connection.
For frame modelling, identify the thin timber strips and triangular card gussets; do not describe it as a frame made entirely from card.
