now back to the "fun stuff... i have 5 more sections to cut out triangles. 4 not too bad, 1 that if gonna hurt not going to be bad with these..only "70" tri's per side.. piece of cake.. um, yea..right:) and then, after those this little gem...... 168 per side, prefolded so i don't forget...

ok, took a little break from the "angles of hell" and built the base.. not too hard to do there... done. and a ruler to show the size. oh, and i forgot to upload this pic the other day.

oh yea. flying off they did. spent a few minutes looking on the floor and work bench trying to find them.. some times they were stuck right to my shirt..:laughrolling:

well, not really. if ya look close, things are off and i had to trim cross beams the further up i came. at least 1/16 or so each floor so it would some what match up. still, it came out good.

thanks Revell-Fan . its a real bugger to do, my poor eyes were going cross trying to put the supports in and i kept dropping them. the real funs gonns be cutting out the rest.

LAST section. well, for this part any way. i am really glab i got a new set of tweezers.. the higher i got the harder it was putting in the cross members..and i still dropped some DONE... now onto the observatory deck...

well, got more done . i can tell you that the higher you build the stronger it gets AND more fun on putting things in place... more beams, more supports... level 4 going in.. and repeat 4 more times...
