Started with the dome





The choice for a dome was not easy. But, smart as I am, I thought, let's start with a cheap version, as I will probably make mistakes in t he beginning. So I ordered the Aspect birddome, and started with the drawing and cutting out of the panels.


The drawing was rather easy, just put a screw in the hole on the top, put a strip of thin material ( styrene, paper ) along the dome, take the measures from the official blueprints, make a hole in the strip, put the pencil in and draw the lines around the dome ( sounds a lot easier than it actually was ). But the result is rather ok.
