Model Solar Systems

[Benno18]

Just wondering if any of the parents out there have found/made a model solar sysem for their kids? Been searching the web for a while and Im having trouble finding any which are commercialy made.

Only wat i can think of making one would be the old 'paper machee around the balloons' idea??

Anything would be helpfull

Something like this:question:

Table tennis balls, styrofoam balls from the craft shop and other bits and pieces.

School project from last year. I got an A+;)

Killed a microwave trying to turn table tennis balls into asteroids. Don't try it at home.

If you have a spare 500 or so hours, how about mine?

Planets are 30 million to one, moon distances are 3 billion to one and planet distances are 3 trillion to one. I bought the Earth and Moon, everything else I made myself. I am currently making Jupiter!
