Among my myriad talents I'm also an occasional scratch builder. I've
recently made a circular housing by wrapping a flexible strip of plasticard
around a circular former secured by an elastic band and then throwing it
into a sink full of piping hot water. When you take it out after say a
quarter hour the plastic strip is curved, not as tightly as the former
though. You should of course use a smaller former than the curve you want.
