Reconstruction of the 1998 Tawsmead Copse formation |
|||||
1. | Start with constructing a heptagon (regular 7-sided polygon). | ||||
2. | Copy it and shift the new heptagon (without rotating) from point A to point B. | ||||
3. | Copy and shift the new heptagon (again without rotating) from point C to point D. | ||||
4. | And again for points E and F. | ||||
5. | Repeat this again and again until this picture appears. | ||||
6. | Making black everything inside all heptagons seems to finish the reconstruction of the 1998 Tawsmead Copse formation. | ||||

The outer border fits properly, but for the inner one, we must find a different solution. The larger points of the inner star pattern can also be seen to have rounded corners. | |||
8. | To construct the inner border pattern, first draw the red lines as shown in this picture. | ||||
9. | Then draw the blue lines shown here; these two sets of lines will determine the rounded corners of the larger points of the inner star pattern. | ||||
10. | For the other star points, start drawing these lines. | ||||
11. | From this set of lines, create a new heptagon. | ||||
12. | The border of the inner star pattern can now be constructed from the sets of newly drawn lines, like this. | ||||

14. | Together with the outer borderline… | ||||
