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. | |||

| Together with the outer borderline… | |||
