Build IV

Previous - Next

Assembly is now complete with the help of some new clamps from Wilko's and Poundland. I made the mistake of using the wrong paint on the first. I should have used my glasses in the shed - I saw the word 'undercoat' but only when I had finished did I realise that the paint tin said "gloss, undercoat not needed" rather than actually denoting undercoat.

No matter, it will be satin black tomorrow. And the second will be undercoated prior to becoming primary-coloured.

I have found an old bat with which to make a start on Round Forms.

[Later that day]
The plan is to show them on either side of the new (-ly redecorated) fireplace. Round Forms might fit in the middle. The configuration should be based on the known pieces but given that they are approximately chiral, copying one directly would be unbalanced. I am inclined to use the structure of #3 but a mirror image. There is already a picture to hand from Build III

Here's a notion - build trial pieces using coins, lolly sticks and superglue. Fun times ahead.
