A Soldier's Tale: Drawing the Proscenium Arch (Part 3)

Drawing the Proscenium Arch

Take Three.


Ok, I'm struggling. The shape it drawn but now I need to think about construction and how it's going to be built. I know from a previous discussion had with Rosalie and Richard on the 3rd November that it was going to be 18mm ply backwith with 3 x 1 on edge timber but it was exacrly how these supports will be placed on the back of the pros that is giving me a headache.
Do I space them evenly? Do I not? How many is enough? It's just a big puzzle to me now. I emailed Richard to ask and his advice was...

"Draw how you think it should be done and so we can compare"

Frustrating!!! I will muddle through and try and get this done asap.
Also... Do I draw the detail on top?! Ie; the polyblock, the timber, the corrugated iron?
I'm starting to worry now because time is of the essence and I cant work over the weekend.
