          It’s Masonite board used as a mold for the roof.

            So the fiber glass peels off the mold and then all the fiberglass triangles are fiberglassed together?

              You want a slick surface where the fiberglass epoxy won’t stick too the mold. I used plywood and covered it with plastic sheeting. If I hadn’t the epoxy seeps thru the fiberglass and glues it too the plywood.

              Far as glassing the cloth I believe that’s how Bodey did his, mine I just draped it over till I had full coverage and glassed it. Next ones I build I’ll cut the triangles out with a flap along one side and overlap them and twice layer the fiberglass

                      Polygon general rule is:
                      Sum of interior angles = (n-2) x 180 degrees
                      Each angle (of a regular polygon) = (n-2) x180 deg / 2

                      Example:
                      Decagon
                      10 sides
                      (10-2) x 180 deg
                      8 x 189 deg
                      1440 deg

                      1440 deg / 10
                      144 degrees per angle

                      On our case with a hexagon the interior angle is:
                      (6-2) x 180 = 720 / 6 = 120 degrees

                      Due to only using half the interior angle one would divide 120/2 = 60 degree angle cut

                        That 2d CAD picture is a little hard to see.
                        This is a little easier:

                          TN_Boy is correct, you cut the wall horizontals 60°, and one side of the vertical stud and the top of the top wall horizontal you rip 30° for them to go flush on the next wall and the roof on top.
