33. | ![]() | Repeat steps 31 and 32 five times, for the other angular points and sides of hexagon 9. | |||
34. | ![]() | Circles 12, 15, 18, 28, 29, and 30, hexagon 21, and lines 25, 26, 32, and 33, are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
35. | ![]() | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. pdf-file | |||
36. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... pdf-file | |||
