Magnetic sphere models
Introduction
Magnetic spheres can be used as a modelling material.
Some photos should illustrate the potential of the medium.

To make these models I used 64 6mm diameter neodymium
spheres. Half were black and half were gold.
I also employed some 9mm and 15mm chrome steel ball
bearings.
These models finished with me running out of magnets. I
hope to obtain some more magnets - and make some bigger
models.
