Much like the VSC emblem
that graces the top of the accessory compartment door on the fork
mounted equatorial platform I constructed for my 10" f/5.6
Newtonian, I wanted to do something similar with the North Star II
field tripod. So, I decided the make a VSC emblem and place it in
the center of the NS II's accessory tray.
In the photo above, you
will note that I traced the individual parts that make up the
"V-Star" symbol below its printed image onto a section of 1/8" birch
plywood. Also note that the traced sections are positioned in
various orientations. This was done so that when all of the pieces
have been brought together to make the finished emblem, each would
reflect light at a different angle, which will produce a three
dimensional effect. I will demonstrate this later. Now let's cut out
the pieces.
