Norm

Will do a topic on the extras that will be a list and a half

Thanks for the list Dave, I think the 321 & bee bodies are the same?

The 321 bee bodies also come in a single dip which is one solid colour rather than having
the end dipped in a contrasting colour.

Graham Lee

So are they still bee bodies if they don't have the ends dipped?

We may need to find a qualatex expert for this.
I thought they were called 321 single dipped? But that may well be wrong.

This is how balloons are made Click here

Just to show my ignorance, but what balloons do people use if you want to use round balloons in your models? It's just that the Bee Body, 160's, 260's, etc are what are sold by different people, but wondered if there were "modelling" round balloons?

Thanks.

Quote from: "Miles More Magic"wondered if there were "modelling" round balloons?

The round balloons used for modelling are just the same ones that decorators use. I am fortunate that I am a decorator so I get to use the rounds that are left over from decorating jobs.

Rounds for modelling are the 5", 9", 11"...there are others 16, 24, 36 too
But  Roger is right - all of the sizes are used by decorators.

I have used the bigger balloons for sculptures as well there are no rules as to what balloons can and cant be used you will often here the likes of Patrick from Holland (by the way Patrick if you read this boy do Holland look real good in the euros the other night) say I used a water balloon or some other strange balloon they have found in a £1 shop or such like.

So don't restrict yourself or get tied up with what is or is not the right type of balloon and use them if they work fine (let us know)if they don't hay you tried.

I wish i could remember where on the net i saw 710s  :?:

710's?  Mandy seems a rather small size in length compared to the width, Oh Matron
