The article is based around Table Tennis balls, but I want something sligthy bigger, so I got hold of some acrylic spheres 80mm in diameter:

I had to upscale the plans and instructions to accommodate the larger spheres.

I worked out the enlargement factor but still had to fiddle about to get the angles and curves right.

I have cut out the window openings for the control cabin, and started to box them in:

As this will not be a "Studio Scale" model, I will not be able to use any of the kit parts

used in the original model so, I will have to make the parts from scratch as well.

Good luck with this,it's a great design.
