For our boiler we simply measured the diameter and length the pipe from the CAD(15inches) then found the circumference, added joining holes( 5/32 rivets every 2 inches worked) and cut it out on our router. 0.118(3mmish) polycarb worked fine for us, but took a little bit of effort to hold it together while rivetting( by little bit I mean person sitting on it
)
We did the same for the funnel, just measured, laid it out in 2D in SW then cut it on our router.
