Besides a nylon hammer and a jewellers mandrel (which really should be made out of steel; the less expensive aluminium versions are solely for measuring) I would suggest to invest into a rathburn ring stretcher, a punch & die set from harbor freight will do the job sufficiently and those coin centering cards.
That would be my basic tooling, maybe an dapping block (together with the dapping punches) additionally such as this one.
For the lazy
Not anymore, as I’m a perfectionist, and I didn’t like the way a number of my domes had appeared on previous builds, so I invested in a doming kit like this one on Amazon. I got mine at Harbor Freight.
It’s useful for builds like this, as well as for builds with spherical elements. For example BB-8 or the Death Star. It also helps make the final product look more round versus having sharp corners on seams or inconsistent bends. I’ve got those two builds posted here on r/metalearth and can be found on my profile also if you want to take a look, and maybe you’ll find that you might want one as well.
