Model Solar Systems

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

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!
