Decided that it would be best to keep building up the sides before attempting the paper mache it so that took some wind out of my sails as now I have to address my previous calculation failures.
In templating out the last bit to build up the lack of thought of the deck layout once again comes to bite me. I had planned for the deck that is seen triming up to the edge of the paper templates here to be the one that holds the cannons. I had failed to take into account that these were at different levels. The easy answer would probably be to make it taller and just add another deck.... But then I'd have to make a giant egg as the one I have isn't tall enough.
Which is go say, yes I'm planning on cutting down the back as well. As this would mean that is too tall as well.
With hot glue proving to reject revisions, and my wrist proving to lack gumption, I may need to make a custom egg anyways. My strive for getting close to the source material has me questioning if making an egg can even be wide enough with the allotted deck space.
