If you mean something like this:
It would depend on the size ( or sizes ). Half a plastic ball, and some styrene tubing( with a little "body putty" ) could make a reasonable facsimile.
Finding plastic balls the right size.... "Aye, now there's the rub."
You might have better luck finding castings of such vents. If there is a hobby shop close enough to go visit, that carries "Parts" for ship models you might find them there, or at least, be able to order what you need.
The alternative, would be to get a list of ship model kit manufacturers,from the nearest hobby shop, and see if any of them could supply the vents you need.
In researching this, I did find one comment on "how frustratingly difficult making these, can be". Hope you can find a reasonable solution.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
