Thanks. Do you have some idea of the diameter? There may be wooden dowel of about the correct diameter?. You'd need to drill a hole through the centre, and perhaps wrap a piece of thin paper around the circumference. Alternatively, you could use plastic tube, and make up false ends out of Plasticard. If you want to try this, I've got loads of tubes 25 mm dia x 85mm long: you'd be welcome to them for the postage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
