The Library has a glazed dome with copper(ish) framework. Looking at the printed pieces from the book, I wondered if the glass might not be better-represented with glossy photo paper. I scanned the windows artwork and printed on the new paper.
Base section of the glazed dome on The Library. I copied the lower glazed section onto gloss photo paper. The copperwork belt section is the original matte paper from the book. After assembly, I decided to cut-out the circular center pieces to allow addition of internal lighting.
The darker paper ring should prevent light from showing through the belt line.
I found the photo paper more difficult to form and glue than regular paper, something to keep in mind in the future. Closing the seams proved to be a bit of a learning process.
Framework in place, which helps hide some of the bad seams. I might try this one again later, after I've had a bit more experience working with domes.
Next: The mysterious weather vane.
