(bonus pics show what happens when one needs to correct an issue after the dome was completed) Your's truly got to climb on up in there from the lower level directly below...

Thanks for looking folks!

Man, can't bend my knees like that any more. Sigh.

What are the sticks for?

Used to hold foam pieces in place while the glue sets when the size, shape, or position of the piece does not allow a weight to be used.

Icewind Dale - I wonder how many other people on here understand that reference.

Actually we are inspired by the Disneyland Railroad trip through the primeval world.  We were going to do the same, but couldn't justify a swamp on the top of a mountain, so we decided to model the last ice age instead...

Yes, cool Bioware Infinity Engine game - dungeon crawl - a classic in my book! The Severed Hand was one of my favorite levels.
