Nice work!
I think your dome looks really good, and I'm planning on borrowing your
technique for a MOC currently underway. I have to admit, I was so psyched to
see a usable dome technique that looks like it should scale, I really barely
even looked at the rest of the MOC, but what I saw was very nice. The thing I
like about your dome is that it offers enough points where I could vary the
colors to achieve a tiled effect (I'm thinking of Islamic domes using colored
tiles), in particular the 1 x 2 panels.
