After another evening of building, the second tube is finished. All the parts need three coats of paint, so it’s going very slowly. The instructions are very clear, and the construction isn’t difficult.
The rings around the tube are very thin; unfortunately, I’ve already completely broken one ring. Luckily, there was a spare part because I ran out of superglue
Thank you @aga2713 it’s a huge compliment when I can inspire people. By painting it, I make it a unique piece. I always try to make the small details stand out. With this piece, the small details are too small, and it won’t look good
It’s looking great so far! Even if the process is slow because of all the coats of paint, the result is really worth it. You’re doing a wonderful job, @Liset
Looks really good! I really struggle to remember what the original looks like. I love the photo through the telescope can’t wait for you to complete this!
You won’t see the numbers anymore when it is done @Nita_Davis. There’s still one tube that needs to be attached, and that will cover the numbers. If you want to turn them over, you won’t see the details anymore
