I'm working on a project for a run that will need a 4" metal dome for the main part. I have looked for a existing items but most have a flattened bottom ( like bowls). I have also check Bird feeder tops , tiki torch tops etc.
Does anyone have a suggestion or a place where i could buy 1 for start and several later ?

It could be 3" or 4" for the scale i am going for

thanks fellow prop gurus

Google 'aluminum hemisphere'

First link is to

http://www.wagnercompanies.com/spheres_and_hemispheres.aspx

There are probably others as well, I didn't check past the first one...

4" aluminum hemisphere is about $7, but that company has a $25 minimum order... Still not bad, IMO...

Well to honest I had one up as I was looking for some 'domes' several months ago, either plastic or metal and after some trial and error found that 'hemisphere' was the keyword to use when searching...
