Dew Shield Help

I am wondering if some one in the Brisbane / SE Qld area would be interested in building a dew shield with a dust cover foto fit a Meade 14inch ACF for me?

I would like it to be made from thin / light metal sheet with a good fitting so dust can't get it. It would need to be about 16inch in diameter and a length of 16inches.

The intention is to leave the dew shield permament attached to the scope so that i only need to remove / replace the dust cover at the start / end of observing. (ok i am lazy).

I know I could make one out of some soft foam rubber. Mum is currently sewing it up at the moment. It just looks a bit cheap and I can't leave it permament attached.

Thanks
Brendan
