Quilling to make domes
I have not tried this yet but it looks like it could be useful in making various size domes.
You could make your own quilling tool and quilling coach then look around for things with various diameters to shape the dome, or you could purchase the tools. The domes could come out very smooth with some practice.

Thanks, Doug. This seems to be a variation on the methodologies used by Gil and Ricardo, with some tools to make the job easier for those of us with inferior hand skills.
Definitely has possibilities. It would seem that the dome could be elongated for aircraft and ordnance noses. I had not heard of "quilling" before, but to seems to have been around for a while. Wiki sez: "Quilling or paper filigree is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quilling One resource: Quilling Guild - Your gateway to the world of quilling Don |

Very interesting. I haven't seen quilling used to make domes before.

U-Don used a similar technique for his Japanese midget submarine U-DON'S FACTORY

For small domes and nose cones, etc.
Very neat idea - will have to look for that plastic form in the shops next time. For small domes or tail cones with petals, I have started making "spit balls" from tissue and glue, formed in the fingers and rolled between the palms until the right size, and gluing it where the petals will go to reinforce behind them for forming and burnishing. The spit ball can also be formed elongated for small spinners and for those little missile noses too.
