I was thinking more along the lines of hollowed out crystal structures for most
of them, hence the name Crystal Reef. The service habitats are really the only
structures that look more like they’d have forcefield generators running

It’s a lot easier to make out the internal structures of the Domes in person, as
you move around and see them from different angles. The two on top of the
island are especially easy to make out (which is why I placed them there) due to
the reflective nature of the vac-metallized parts inside.

Perhaps if a slightly less scale is used - perhaps the one that uses 1x1 rnd
pieces as microfigs, then a moonbase around them?
|
To be honest, the vehicles, guns, and Tower always seemed to me to be in a
larger scale than the Domes, but I started with the Domes, and I felt that the
lack of vehicles made it seem completely devoid of life. Short of putting in
1x1 round plates as flying saucers (which would be completely unrecognizable as
such without an explanation), I didn’t see any way to make vehicles that would
be in scale with the Domes, and the colorful Domes are what I felt really made
the design work visually.

I’m always surprised when I hit your links and am taken to a bionicle site!
haha!

It does actually have some BIONICLE parts, but they’re easy to overlook.
