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.
