Harmonica microphone ?

I'm thinking how to make steampunk microphone.
I don't wanna use any plastic covers shells etc.

Tea ball mic looks great and steamy. Problem is tha it sound tinny and
high frequencies. Maybe if I make it right it don't sound ? This looks great but too big http://handmademusicclubhouse.com/photo/crystal-element-harp-microp.... Bullet mics are great.

First I need to find right microphone element. I Like to have vintage sound.
I was thinking to dynamic mic. For Tea egg etc. Its to big

second I need shell. Maybe I can find something in hardware store or some store.
Tea ball sieve and small sieve looks great for bullet mic front cover.

I may have put my post in the wrong place (I'm new here) ;-)

So here it is again, (Maybe I'm just starved for attention)

Hey those are some great looking mics!! What I used for a shell is the end caps for hain link fence posts with an ABS insert that is threaded that accepts sink tail piece slip nut. My computer crashed and I lost all my pictures!!
What is the name of that molding compound?
