Minature #2
Jan 25^th, 2013 at 7:30pm

My newest minature is 3 1/2 inches tall and has 1031 plus segments. The two feature rings were ment to cross, not U-turn. It was too difficult to make them cross. When my wife first saw it she said What's this? I said a hole. She just gave a polite smile and sat it back down. No need for me to say it has 150 pieces in each ring or that it has two compound miters 18 degrees by 22.5 and they had to be mirror images of each other. It does sit on the fireplace mantle, but the hole turned to the back. C/C welcome. Also there are 5 rings of open segments at the top.

Posts: 1,582 The Adirondacks New York USA Gender:	Re: Minature #2 Reply #5 - Jan 25^th, 2013 at 11:15pm I'm impressed by the planning and persistence it took. The feeling I have is every project that doesn't come out quite right means I learned something for the next one.
