Quote - I once tried to model the popes "crown" not sure what it's called. Anyways, that hat is much more complex to model than one would think. LOL
But my modeling skills have gotten a little better now, so I might revisit the idea.

I am sure it is harder to model this than becoming the pope himself.
But of course, if you would go on with this model: here waits your first customer, paypalready to go!
(could you show a snapshot of the old model, to give an impression of what ind of crown it will lookalike? I know the Tiara, the traditional crown of the popes, but since Johannes Paul I - 1978 or so - the popes use a Mitra, the crown  bishops wear. for my historical aims, the Tiara is the best one, but why not  a Mitra too? so you could create the first: war all ppe's heads from the beginning til today-set...)
