If you fill it with helium, it will seem to hover in mid air. 🙂 Somebody did that on my school once, with this miniture baloon. That is how I remembered it.

Better not fill with helium, otherwise the balloon will be shot down 😉
The scale is a bit unusual (too big in 1:350?) but great project idea 👍

Excellent xO

Biggest that will fit in my 3d printer, bughunter.

Christian Bruer
Well, wasn't it a weather ballon 😄

Michael Kohl
Cool. I am in

Ben M Szerző
All parts printed. I need to separate them from the supports and then harden them in sunlight. It'll be a while as we are in a snowstorm right now.

A very funny subject. Looking forward to see your progress.

I am from Arizona - what is that white stuff on the ground ?? Kidding - pretty cool idea. From what you posted I did not know it was that huge.

The crane story sounds a bit like a return of the red scare, doesn't it? 😉

Ben M Szerző
I got in a bad fight with my airbrush but I managed to get the payload sprayed aluminum finally

bughunter
Will you add the buses from picture 1 as a size comparison?

Ben M Szerző
I'm pondering if I should paint the 40 solar panels a dark blue.

Łukasz Gliński
I wonder - how are you planning to display it? Hanging under the ceiling? 😉

Ben M Szerző
Yes. I put a loop on top so I can hang it from the ceiling!

bughunter
... so the Chinese can spy your living room 🙂

Ben M Szerző
Spy balloon complete. Great addition to my balls collection!

John Hughes
People will be looking for the light switch for that!

Łukasz Gliński
It looks great, but John is right too - looks like a lamp w/fan 😄
Now wondering when we'll start seeing such lamps in shops 😄

Villiers de Vos
Very nice and creative work.

Neuling
Ben, watch out for jetfighters in the vicinity! There might be some collateral damage to you stylish living room!

Ben M Szerző
Oh… I would love a lamp with fan that looked like this! Thank you, everyone. I was a bit obsessed with the spy balloon and I was sad when they shot it down.

Ben M Szerző
Bughunter now the Chinese government can be informed of everything I do, and I don't even need to install TikTok.

The spy balloon still makes headlines: wsj.com/articles/chi..n-americans-2e3f5039
