I am looking for ideas on how to mount for display a huge textile. The item is a 
painted canvas that was on the nose cone of a submarine that was recently 
christened. The item is at least eight feet wide. Think of a giant convex 
surface. We would like to duplicate the shape of the end of the submarine, 
round and somewhat pointed. Essentially we need a large bird cage attached 
to a wall. Suggestions on how to mount this thing? Fiberglas mold? Styrofoam 
sections? Massive amount of fiberfill? Of course any thing will be covered with 
muslin and/or cotton batting to protect the fabric. Ideas are welcome! I can 
send photos if anyone likes. Thanks in advance.
