Signal Heads

Would any of you have any dimensional drawings of Darth Vader style signal heads and masts?
I am experimenting with how I could replace my Digitrax masts with something better! I think I will need about 50 heads in the end so I want to find some way to do it economically and something I can accomplish. I doubt I can get any where close to scale, like many things in nscale, but I would like to know how far off I am. I can’t find a place a can get close enough to actually measure any. The hoods are only .010 thick but that even looks plenty bulky. Black paint might help.  I think I will get some .050 tube and see how that will look. I will either have to learn photo etching or get some place to do it for me when I get to the ladders and platforms.
