The panels are all almost complete, they only need to be made longer so that the lamp can house the light fitting without the bulb touching the MDF and therefore creating a fire risk. This will be a simple task, as I designed them in CAD to allow for any extensions needed. The base is still a little problematic, however I expect it to be finished very soon. I created a 1:1 scale model of the lamp out of paper and cardboard and it has helped me realise the angles I need to cut the base arms at to hold the panels. I have attached the photos of my model to give a good impression of the shape of the lamp, as I know the previous sketches have only told part of the story.
