Not much cost. So I hope. I have access to a moldmaker that deals
in miniatures and porcelain dolls. Seems that the molds covered with
felt would work fine. I am more worried about the stress cracks than
anything else.

If it fails I will still have my old slightly damaged piece. (and
I'll be out around $50 No biggie.

If it succeeds I'll see about making myself a set of covers for the
rear too. I never had those!

Thanks for the heads up though.
