I'd like to replace the clear round dome supplied with the Polar Lights 1/64 Land of the Giants Spindrift kit with a more accurate teardrop-shaped dome. A company called "Just An Illusion" has a correct dome listed on their website, but they don't seem to be available any longer.
If anyone who reads this post knows of any other sources for aftermarket domes and other details for the Spindrift, will you please advise?
I'd be willing to try my luck with making my own dome by making a wooden form and using softened clear plastic, but I don't own or have access to a vacuum forming machine. I've read about a method where a piece of softened plastic is simply pulled down over a form, allowed to cool, then trimmed to size. Has anyone else ever used this technique successfully?
Thanks, Pete
