Easy to build yourself if the diy types are looking.
Tools are a jigsaw and a drill.
Also a scrap bit of wood/mdf/other to make a circle-jig from - Blades tend not to want to go round corners in Polycarb and will bend all over the place, so the jig needs to support the blade. If anyone is interested I can get a photo of my jig when I get to the workshop either tomorrow or tonight (I'm making it sound more complicated than it really is).
A large centre hole and having it flush with the rim sidewall makes it unnecessary to dome at all.
Cool graphics can be painted straight onto it, any poster or paper-drawing/painting can be spraymounted onto the rear-side (polycarbonate is see-through - they make conservatory windows, bulletproof glass and vandalproof bus stops from the stuff). Or leave it clear.
The ones in the photo are just spraypainted on the rear-side.
