I intend to make an asteroid settlement in a similar fashion.  I've been
saving domes from gumball containers for years now....	Ideally, I'd
like
to terrain the interior of the dome; at this scale it would be very easy
to
create a fields, a small forest, maybe even a small lake.

In an ideal world, one where I knew what I was doing, I'd include a
grain
of wheat bulb at the top of the dome to act as an artificial sun -- the
body of the asteroid could certainly fit a battery, and the result would
look (I think) Pretty Damn Good.
