David. It looks like you and I had the same idea in mind for I created a brass tube with a curved end to it then I braised it onto a plate it's one I use for making eye guards for Horse Chamfrons it is 100mm in diameter which is around 4 inches.
I do have a larger diameter one for doing the umbro of Scutum it's only a tube and nothing like that super job you have, it does make one wonder if indeed this is the way that the Roman craftsmen solved this problem.
Here is a link to it http://www.northumberland-computers.com ... a/tube.jpg
This tube works wonders for getting the curve needed around the faces of horses
Here is a link that shows how http://www.northumberland-computers.com ... roman9.jpg
