I imagine all the work that these domes demand, but the result is so good, that you must not lose courage! Do not put too much pressure on yourself, after all, you have all the time you need... I don't think there is a limit...

Thanks -JO- I sure hope theres no time limit otherwise I'm way behind.

I'm still working on the map, you guy's really help keep me motivated, and I really appreciate it. I've spent the last few days consolidating all my sloppy layers. It took forever because I had each part of each building on it's own layer, and grouped together. I had to ungroup all the layers, and merge them back in with the proper layer, and I managed to remove about 15 in the process... Now I just have one layer for all the base shapes, one overlay layer underneath that one for major shading, one above for smaller details, and then two colour layers, one below the base shapes, and one above all the rest, and then above that outlines, and below them all the more sketchy planning layer. Now when I do a new building, I know where things are, and I can do everything for every building on the same layer, there was just too much before, my computer was starting to lag, and I couldn't find anything...I don't know if I'm the only one, but layers can get out of hand quickly, and it makes it really frustrating to get anything done.

I'm still just working on base shapes right now, I think it's best to do them all first tho I'm antsy to get painting them, it's all looking kind of ugly right now so I'll try to get a little further ahead before I post an update.

Thanks again to the guild for all the support, and encouragement, the members here are all so helpful, and nice.
