Can anyone recommend a source of model stone finials?

Please can anyone recommend a source of ready-to-use model finials, to top off the parapets of my under-bridge, thus?

Scale is OO, width of parapets 2" (51mm.), depth 5/8".  Is there a specialist modelling supplier that makes coping stones or short finials for such scratch-building?

 

On a related matter, I hoped to obtain some onion-shaped fishing floats for the same purpose, for a planned Orientalist-style warehouse, without luck.  Did I imagine the shape from a friend's fishing expeditions forty years ago?  Has anyone else tried to sculpt an onion-shaped dome for architectural modelling?  A colleague (ex-professional model-maker) suggested using a bead and hand-forming from modelling clay the point.  I am hoping for a Brighton Royal Pavilion effect, thus:

(The shape, not ornamentation, I hasten to add!)

 

Many thanks for any suggestions, and giving this your consideration.
