Decent Radar Dishes

Anybody know where to find one? I want to make a Cobra Communications Hub vehicle, but for the life of me can't find a decent Radar dish.

Any idears?

How big does it have to be?
There are some dishes out there.
Pluv did this one with a Radar Rat

and Oreobuilder did this one I think it was something from mega blocks

I bashed one together with a bionicle piece, bottle cap, and Scrap Iron's missile base.
You could use the dish from the Millennium Falcon or even the Hoth Laser Cannon

http://www.yojoe.com/images/resize/w/35 ... _title.jpg Was thinking about using the dish and the missile holder and missiles on the arms of a Snow Cat for a cobra Anti-Aircraft vehicle.... Say they took the Snow Cat from the battlefield but no ammo on it so they made it into that....

I'm hoping to mount it on the back end of a Parasite... where that little machine-gun sits.

I've looked into the Radar Rat... Tab looks a might tiny to work.

I'm thinking the Battle Barges would work better... even if it might be a bit high. Though with all that extra 'trunk space' the parasite has, it could easily be moved down into the troop area for the crew to prop up. But then if this is like a listening post... logically I'd have to put some electronics in there.... and find electronics TO put in there....

Dunno if I'm making this too complicated.

Then again I am contemplating replacing that goofy cockpit for something a little more in the Hiss/Septic family.... so I think Complicated is out the window.

Would it be beneficial to get some of these cast?

Or would the price be too much?

I have no expertise in Casting.... I should probably start looking into it.... right after I invest in that Airbrush set that would make my life easier.

Price wise.... As long as somebody isn't trying to charge me an arm and a leg for that BB radar dish, or if I can trade for it, I'll be happy.

Anybody know of some places to find these parts (other than the obvious answer of E-bay)?
