I was thinking of something along those lines, though I haven't started
on
any specifics yet.  Perhaps I'll start sketching and see what I can come
up
with...

Another problem is that the techniques I use to sculpt don't lend
themselves
to machinery very well, I've got to work on that.

Do you have any good references?  Aside from a standard geodesic dome I
can't picture this...
