Hi Jon, thanks for sharing your Dome and the instructions and thoughts behind the scences. Just recently German AFOL "treczoks" covered the "the last of it's kind" under a half-soccer-ball-dome: (URL) In year 2153, 45 years after the big bang this (...)

(...) OK, that's really cool. Did you try using just 5 holes of the wheel for the 5 pt vertices? It might solve the problem of having to force the pentagons, which probably will deform the connectors after a time. Might not look as good though. (...)

Hey everybody. I finally got around to posting instructions for the geodesic dome I built back in 2006. Please take a look: (URL) Let me know what you think! Can't wait to see some cool domes (or spheres) from other builders! (17 years ago, 15-Jan-08, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space, FTX) !!

Just my too sense: Some sirens will have a different wail. I have quite a few of them and some were obviously made for the UK (weeee-wah, weeee-wah) and some are made for the US (wee-ooo, wee-ooo, wee-ooo). Aaah, gotta love the technical jargon! :-) (...)

Hello! That's a nice way to present your sets. Usually you just see them displayed in showcases or display-staircases or the like. That way the sets are hardly relating to each other. You however show a real Castle world. I like that. Bye Jojo (17 years ago, 22-Dec-07, to lugnet.events, lugnet.castle, lugnet.space)
