This detailed model of the moon is hollow and therefore very price efficient. It will balance on a small gap on the bottom. You can also hang it on a wire using a bent paperclip. See video and images. Made for full color sandstone.
cm: 9.172 w x 8.988 d x 9.128 h
in: 3.611 w x 3.539 d x 3.594 h

Awesome! I have one question, though. How did you detail the dark side of the moon?

@albertwenger: best material is without a doubt colour sandstone if you want the texture to show up. However other materials are less realistic but more artistic. I can imagine steel, ceramics or a single colour polymer looks good aswell

@Continuum: Yes I did, but it doesn't look that good. The detail doesn't show as nice as when you shine light ON in. And it makes the moon looks to stainy. Lit from the outside is offcourse more like the real deal with the sun.

Have you tried it with an LED inside?

Thank you AD-Edge. I might just do that! But I have some different models to complete first. I'll add Mars to the list :)
