   Very nice Jan. beatiful work!  I think I will be next copying Mel ;)
  did you also make that 18 point cell?  looks very nice. 

   I'm just starting to think about the cell as I'm halfway on the
first mirror and have downloaded all the  PLOP files I can find, I
could not tell if the 36 point was that much better than a 18 point for
my 13"D by 1"thick Plate  

   I wish I could learn it faster I want to see what happens if i make
a  21 point it would look like yours but have a 7th triangle in the
center.(that's where that red ball shows up on the plop that I modified
from another guy who posted them.

   Plop seems hard, will have to wait till my son returns from Chicago,
I'll have him do the math for me;).
