Awesome job ... one question though ...

What did you use for the rings of Saturn? How did you attach them?

[Facci Designs]

thanks. I cut the ring out of foam core and covered it in some sparkly paper. Since there was a hook on top of the planet, I strung fish line through some holes in the ring and connected it to the top of the hook. I wanted to look like it was floating.

Beautiful! I bet rich people would pay lots of money to have these as objets d'art!

[Facci Designs]

wow, you think so? Maybe someone rich will see these and want me to make more! :)

Try charging a ton of money for them on etsy and see what happens!

Why, thank you! Aren't they Out of This World? :)

thanks.
They were for a client who wanted them for her son's "Space themed" Party.

Really nice job on these! Will they be display models or are they part of another project?
