I also made a little top nipple out of a Phillips head bolt by filling in the place you stick the screw driver (not sure what you call that) with liquid nails and then I filled it with several coats of glazing putty. Surprisingly it came out nice. Then I painted a washer and used that in place of the part that came with the dome as they were the same size. Looks outstanding if I have to say so myself.
Now I need to summon the courage to install robart hinges on the dome panels. That's something I keep putting off and will probably install after Megacon. I need to talk to the other builders and get some more hints before I try that.
So now my dome top panels look a nice deeper shade of blue than what they were. I'll probably have to work some other ones in the future but looks great for now.
