thanks alot guys. I love the ideas. I didnt know that there were these sort of lego pieces out there until i was suggested to look at the brick link site. Kris Kelvin.. if you ever find that time, i would be interested in hearing how you would go about it. Vincent Kessels... i really like the dome idea you had but i am really not sure how to make that or even what pieces to use to make it. Any suggestions? I realize that it may never look exactly like it but i would like to have it come close.
Thanks again and sorry about being so novice (and probably annoying) about this.
P.S. i will introduce myself in the hello forum.
