The culmination of our work on the Building Big project is presented here in a sequence of photos from the early stage of production to the present, where 4 domes are completed, 1 is almost there, and one has been abandoned. Of the complete domes, one has been successfully improved by rebuilding a section, one has been unsuccessfully rebuilt, and a third probably needs a little extra work. One was, not only the strongest, but also the first to be finished. Some of the domes are being linked, decorated, and strengthened. It's a bit of a nightmare for the available space in the room, but you can't have everything, eh?
