I actually started drawing the rostra with I was with Richard because how I drew it was important to how we made it. I like the process of building up my drawings as we'd make them because it helps me learn about construction.
You can see on my drawings the process I went through. I didn't find it too challenging to draw the rostra, you just have to think of the total height you need it, and subtracting all the different layers at the correct thickness. The only confusing bit was the treads, as according to H&S regulations they have to be a certain depth and height, and then working with the cladding and plywood, making sure you take the measurement of the thickness away from the formers so when we build it, it will be the right height!
I enjoyed this process, especially drawing everything from the different viewpoints and elevations as it helped me learn about materials and building processes.
