BGuy Thanks for the suggestion, guys. I guess there isn't a way to effectively preserve the nice finish on the cap, but oh well. I'll feel better about out the decision since I've now consulted others about it.

The styrene "cap" suggestion (what I would have said too!) would allow the original finish to stay and then a nice "accent" color perhaps or the base color for the subject on just the new styrene "cap"? I think it'd make a great display that way!
Good luck and have fun!
If you want to use it more than once then mold it then sand the top flat on the castings.
other option, wrap tape around the top and fill in the area,once sanded smooth a little spot putty to blend the seam.
Or you could wrap it with sheet styrene than cover the top with some more.
Id throw my money at pushin the top inward and filling it to make it flat.
You could also run a large truck over it.......
Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...
Drill a hole through the top (the bigger, the better) & either pull or press the top so that it goes JUST past flat & level. Then use some filler to level it out. It may want to crease, but the hole should help reduce the chance a bit.

Allrighty, so my sister gave me this old tin of fancy tea recently, because the top looks like it would make an *awesome* little pedestal for a figure, except....
...except it's clearly got a rounded top. I've thought about both the possibilities of using filler/putty to add a flat top, as well as just leaving it till I get a figure that somehow fits a rounded surface like that. The top 'pedestal' area is maybe 2" accross, btw. Anyhow, I was wondering if anybody out there had a quick-dirty-simple means of flattening this thing out, or if I should just toss it on the scrap heap.
