I’ve already covered a large onion dome design in another post<\/a>, but today we’ll be looking at a smaller design.<\/p>\n

To start off, we’ll need a 2×2 plate, 4 headlight bricks, and a 1×2 brick with two studs on side. 2 of the headlight bricks and the 1×2 brick modified with studs on side will attach directly to the 2×2 plate. The remaining 2 headlight bricks are connected on their backs to the 1×2 brick modified with studs on side.<\/p>\n

\"1\"<\/p>\n

Here’s another view of that assembly.<\/p>\n

\"2\"<\/p>\n

Next we’ll add another 2×2 plate, and 2 stacked 1×2 lavender plates (you can use any color 1×2 plate, we just happen to have a plethora of lavender ones).<\/p>\n

\"3\"<\/p>\n

With that core constructed, we can start on the outer portions of the dome. 2 2×4 plates, 2 1×4 plates, and 2 2×3 plates make up the base for this section.<\/p>\n

\"13\"<\/p>\n

Next we’ll add 1×2 jumper plates, as seen below. You could also use regular 1×2 plates, but we were running short on them at the time I made these.<\/p>\n

\"14\"<\/p>\n

On top of the jumper plates we can put on the curved slopes and cheese wedges.<\/p>\n

\"15\"<\/p>\n

And it should end up looking like this. You’ll need 2 of these assemblies.<\/p>\n

\"16\"<\/p>\n

The other two sides use an assembly that starts like this.<\/p>\n

\"6\"<\/p>\n

Some 1×2 jumper plates and a 1×6 plate with cheese on either end are added to give some nice offsets at the ends.<\/p>\n

\"7\"<\/p>\n

And finally a 1×2 brick modified with two studs is used to put on another 1×3 plate plus 1×1 plate and 3 more cheese slopes.<\/p>\n

\"8\"<\/p>\n

The empty stud of the 1×2 brick with studs hooks onto a jumper plate to connect it to the bottom of this side.<\/p>\n

\"9\"<\/p>\n

Here’s a view of that completed assembly from the front.<\/p>\n

\"10\"<\/p>\n

The next step is to attach the various assemblies to each other.<\/p>\n

\"4\"<\/p>\n

They come together as pictured below, and two more sides identical to the ones already built will complete the main portion of the dome.<\/p>\n

\"5\"<\/p>\n

Here the third side is about to be placed.<\/p>\n

\"11\"<\/p>\n

Which then leaves 8 SNOT studs to attach the final side with.<\/p>\n

\"12\"<\/p>\n

\"17\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"18\"<\/p>\n

Afterwards some more brick with stud are used to get back to regular studs up building, and a ‘cap’ is built.<\/p>\n

\"19\"<\/p>\n

Lastly, you can top the dome with a simple 2×2 brick, 2×2 cone, and 1×1 cone. I also added a spear with flags for my scene.<\/p>\n

\"20\"<\/p>\n

This design took me way longer than I would like to admit, but hopefully is of use for you!<\/p>\n

\"21\"<\/p>\n

Thanks for reading, and if you have any designs you would like to see tutorials for in the future, let us know in the comments!<\/p>\n
