Onion Dome Mocs?

[iammac]

Okay, so I recently came into the possession of an onion dome roof piece like this one in the Scorpion Palace from the Orient Expedition theme.

I'd like to build some mocs with this part, but I really can't find where anybody has used it. Maybe some kind soul could point me toward some examples?

I don't know what to use it for other than as a dome. It depends what you like building. I guess that it could be used in a spaceship - @seb71  used some similar curves in his chimera spaceship build so perhaps have a look at that. It's shape makes it quite versatile if integrated correctly.

Paul Vermeesch has used it in a interesting way as the central element of Willy Wonka's inventing room :

I think I remember that one, very innovative usage. It's kinda bulky and ill-suited for a hot air balloon (which was one of my first ideas.) It's no wonder LEGO hasn't brought it back except for that Belville run...

And interesting it indeed is! What a zany contraption he has there... Thanks, I hadn't seen this MOC before. :)
