Can anyone share some ideas of balloon models I can make with 360's and 660's?

Everything that you make with 160/260 Just upsize everything. I think we put some 660 dogs and tweety on the bBlackpool events section and Cashmagic has a monkey from Mark Verge DVD which I think is titled bis is better? but may be wrong on that one.

Whenever possible, I use 360's and 660's to make our sculptures.   They last longer than 260's and therefore leave a more lasting impression.
Just adapt the sculptures you are currently making.  Yes it will take a few more balloons and cost you a little more per sculpture, but your preceived value will increase also.
I am glad to see you said 360's and 660's because I found that it was much harder to work with Q's 340's and 646's.
Happy Sculpting!

Here are a few that I have made using 360's.
  The rabbit has 260 ears attached to it.
You can make lots of things using 360's and 660's (basically anything that needs to be bigger) and they are also good for stuffing things inside.

Have fun twisting.

Can you also show it if it doesn't work as well? It may spark someone else off.

Here some of the most popular bracelet sculptures we do.   They last forever.  They are made with a 660B and a 12" Link-a-loon.  We do these for line work all the time.

The other picture shows the difference between using a 360 & 6" LOL to a 660 & 12" LOL.

Here are some 660 balloon designs we used for a parade in 2007.  Dustin made the cars and I made the cheese with the mice.

Link-a-loons come from Sepertex.  Graham should be able to get those for you.  
I have a whole DVD on uses for the link-a-loon in sculptures.   Bidou has one too.  His is really cool, but so is he.   :)
Link-a-loons are most commonly used in Decor.   Guido Verhoef and Bidou use them for almost everything. ;)

This post is becoming quite an education for me. Thank you. How do I get hold of one of these DVD's?

I am not sure how or were you would get Bidou's or Guido's DVD's.   I only know that they exist and I saw a copy of Bidou's in 2004 on VHS.  I laughed so hard I wet my pants. :oops:  ;)

I believe you could just contact either of them directly for theirs.   Maybe Graham knows something about them or how to get theirs.   Sepertex/Betallatex did the DVD on LINK-A-LOONS for Guidos.

My DVD is in the process of getting edited.   I am not sure when it will be released.   We just got our Dinosaurs DVD by Dustin Queary and my DVD Vol. 2 Caterpillar and Clown Specialty Shapes today.   Dustin's is his personality unscripted and his very funny, but then I am his mother, but none balloon people where literally rolling on the fall laughing at our first viewing.   Dustin's latest DVD is a true testament to the fact that he is not right in the head.  :P  :roll:  :oops:  ;)

Anyway here are a few pics using 660's from back in 2005 I believe.
