Balloon Style B11

This balloon was completed March 19, 2019.  It is a replica made from a photo of an actual balloon (shown).  This replica is of one of a fleet of balloons owned by the balloon ride company Lake Tahoe Balloons in South Lake Tahoe, California.

The balloon is approximately 6 ¾” from the bottom of the skirt to the top of the dome cap.  The gondola and cage measure 2” high.  The total height of the balloon is approximately 9 ¾”.  The envelope is 5” wide at the equator.

The entire balloon is suspended by 5 strands of stretchy cord which is 2 ¾” relaxed, and 3 ¼” with the weight of the balloon.

The entire stand is 24 ¾” tall.  The base is of redwood and cherry wood.
