Bet - Part 2
from cardboard that is in the bottom of the drawing paper that I got my hex sevir basis for the newsstand. Her measurements are 42 x 18h cm, divided into 7 strips of 6 cm.
you ask, but the hexagon has six sides, not seven, in fact I completely overlay the two sides to extremes to make people more resistant hanging. Drawing 4 "windows", 1 x 2 cm from the top point of the structure, while the double bulkheads is closed, where you will be supporting, as a result, a structure for newspapers. Cut with a knife all parts to be exported (windows) and the three sides of the door. While carve the fold lines.
here is how the structure newsstand closed and after a coat of acrylic gesso
Before moving to the next step I colored walls to see brown the effect of wood, but I received confirmation from many that its original color was not, in fact the photo is too unclear to be wooden.
From a web search I discovered that the kiosks have appeared around 1848, when the freedom of the press has given a major boost the birth of new titles and thus arose the need of places to distribute these publications, but initially had wooden structures were built soon to iron. So that to me as an example of the early 900 could only be painted iron!
Honestly I have not changed the base color and have continued to add pieces that were missing in its implementation, with the white card I made 2 mm under the edge of the top 1 cm, while the gray card I cut 1 mm frames that move the panels, I finished the points of bending with a round stick mm 2.
always with the white card I made 2 mm a davanzalino cm. 0.4 above the panels and the two moldings superimposed over a 1.8 cm high and 0.9 cm, as was need for a supervisor?!? Leo approves!! is going well for now ....
The hardest part is to make the roof! which has a dome shape, then it remains for me to redraw on a cardboard mm. A hexagon with two measures of the upper part of the kiosk in the middle I glued a rod of wood 0.4 cm and then I cut 6 shapes as I pasted into the picture.
Now I expect the job more difficult: how to fill this empty ?.... will know in the next part, in the meantime I'm going to study what the best method ... hello ! Terry
