How big is your dome? When the time comes you can get a picture of your trike parked in front of it; like Bucky with his Dymaxion parked in front of the Fly-eye dome.


That's Sir Norman Foster on the right. I lived for seven years in a geodesic dome with a heated ceramic tile floor. It was the cleanest, warmest, quietest place I've ever lived.

I do have a questtion on body panel material What to use to build the lower back coroplast alum??? and how are you guys putting it on tape glue?
A step up from Coroplast would be Polymetal. The local vendor here is Multi-craft plastics. Signage shops will want to sell it with something painted/printed on it. It is used by open-wheel modified dirt-track racers to build those big wings they run.

One nice thing is it comes in 4x8, 4x10 and 5x10 sheets, depending on your needs.
