Need some help with next bit though:-

I want to put a dome on the top of this building, like the following:-

However the top of the CIF bathroom cleaner bottle is too big ideally I would need some thing about 4-5cm diamater, any suggestions?

Slice a ping-pong ball in half?

Good suggestion! At 40mm diameter these would look to work well, and cheap too!

Talking off ping pong balls I remember my uncle once telling that whilst at school as punishment for a particular heinous crime he was made to write a 10,000 word essay on the subject of the interior of a ping pong ball, the thought still makes me shudder.

Really like these

I think a ping pong will be to small, what about this:

Its about 60mm wide.

60mm is too wide, I am intrigued as to what it is though…

Its a plastic ball out of a vending machine, inside was loads of Japanese tat.

Very nice Al, very nice

Doesn't it make you sick?!? I just bought some Kerr and King arab buildings, they are no where near that standard, still I get to use it so I can't complain!

Those K&K are really nice though - they were done in response to a good number of people [including loads of us from here] pestering them to do 10mm stuff...the only shame is that not enough people bought them to convince them to convert all their nice 15mm range into 10mm as well...

I think they are a bit small.

Heh solved the dome problem, bought a kinder suprise egg, perfect size

but did you get a good toy?

It was a a Hippo with a saxophone

Result!!

Finished these off today

And very nice they are too

Like that Google Sketchup too - that's pretty useful, eh?

Cheers Nik,

Yeah Sketchup is great, i'd used it about a year ago in plan mode for a work based project, dug it out again the other week and kinda amazed myself at what you could with it in 3D.

I know it's a bit late, but it is possible to get polystyrene balls of varying sizes and just cut them in half. They are available in Boyes (UK) and are not too expensive.
