k, not much of an update, just got the putty in the cracks, first coat. Going to have to do a few coats and sand then probably another coat. Stay tuned.....this will take a few days.

I think you came up with a good solution. It looks really good.

I have problems with keeping "man-made structures" smooth and appropriately geometric. So, I always try to find existing pieces that take only a little bit of modification. If you were going all the way around, I would have suggested going to a dollar store and finding a large salad bowl with the same slope to it. Then use a Dremel to cut off the first two-inch layer of the bowl. Then you have something smooth and uniform. And you also have a more shallow bowl that can be used for another project.

Have fun,
Stephen

I'm not mathematically smart enough to figure out

Give yourself a little more credit than that. I was very impressed how you went about creating it & adding support to the platform. Nice piece of work.

Good Job!

thanks guys, I'm hoping that when I seal the putty and paint it, it will look good!

hansoldbuddy, thanks for the vote of confidence but I know my mathematical limitations

hansoldbuddy, thats for the vote of confidence but I know my mathematical limitations

its not a mathmatical limitation ... its a material & tool limitation. It could be done very easily using wood and a router

hopefully this works out and looks decent when I get all done. I'll need to find a sealer and I'll need to ask Diego_Bah what paint he uses on foamcore, I dont want this thing to curl up after all this effort
