Hi all! I want to present to you my work, which I did 8 years ago.
This is my first blog on this site. I apologize in advance if I’m doing something wrong…

Now briefly about the process itself.
I thought for a long time how to make an octagonal ring for the launcher and came to a decision. I made an octahedron and stuck strips of thin plastic on it.


Then I put it in boiling water for 5 seconds. After cooling, I made a cut and removed the finished octagons.

Then I glued the octagons together and added plastic corners.


Then I made the base and other elements

Thank you all for your appreciation and interest in my work. I continue…
I attached the base to a makeshift pedestal.
This helped the whole structure not to warp during gluing.

Great stuff. Is that tissue on the bench seat for texture?

I used rough paper towels. Polyvinyl acetate glue diluted with water. I
soaked a napkin with this solution and wrapped the plastic seat, forming small folds.
