I'm actually scratch-building two of these. One for commission and one for myself. The plan is to build it as economically, yet accurately as possible. Which mostly means no actual kit parts. But I am striving to scratch build the various bits as near as I can from stuff in my shop. The main sphere is made from two 6" Acrylic light globes from Home Dept. I bought two and cut the bottom portion off and glued the two tops parts together for a perfect circle. I was able to scratch build most of the detail. The Chrome rims (that I believe come from a vintage Kenworth Semi truck model) were tricky to find. I ended up buying a cheap truck set from Walmart that had all the rims I needed. They are pretty close in style.
