Yep, I made one for the Ballarat Astronomical Society about 18 years ago. It graces the full wall of the Main building
Fortunately it is a pretty long wall

At each Planet I placed information: distance from Sun, size, temp etc.
I hand painted each scale-size Planet to look realistic

When our SVAA gets our own property, I want to make a model taking up the whole length of the property. And I am also going to do a 3D Crux illusion
If it works well, I might try a 3D Orion illusion too.
