The completed structure So.....In the words of Talking Heads....How did I get here. From earlier posts you will have seen the assembly of the polythene cover unit cells of Hexagons, Pentagons and 1/2 Hexagons......that allow the build to be easier to visualise and ultimately build correctly. Using the UV resistant mega strong tape and the gadget below (see earlier post) start connecting the unit cells into bigger fragments. (the gadget will take the strain of when trying to form a 3D structure from flat sheets). Its easy to get lost so I'd recommend joining 5 pairs of 2 hexagon cells as the basic 5 vertical stripes that you have to joing together via intervening pentagons. The repetition of this operation will hopefully result in less (0 errors) Gadget developed to join flat sheets to form a 3D cell. Once the whole structure is completed ....wait for a dry, windless day and go for it. I was assisted by my daughter who kept tension on 2 ropes straddling the top of the geodome whi
