Miniature Hot Air Balloon for Model Train and Dollhouse Layouts Assembled (Color Options Available)
Bring whimsical height and storytelling to your model train or dollhouse layouts with this fully assembled miniature hot air balloon. Crafted by Gold Rush Bay, it features a classic parachute-style envelope with elegant gore stripes, a detailed balloon skirt, and realistic dual burners. The included basket is proportioned for standard miniature figures (not included), making it perfect for scene building in layouts and dioramas.
Designed for easy customization, the exterior arrives ready for painting with most acrylics or modeling paints. Two discreet openings at the crown allow you to suspend the balloon or insert lighting (LED recommended) for a dramatic floating effect over rail yards, town squares, fairgrounds, and countryside scenes.
Each piece is produced after payment and arrives completely assembled—basket included—so you can focus on placement and finishing touches rather than construction. Recommended for ages 14+. Due to the highly detailed nature of the model, some delicate elements may shift during shipping; the item will be packaged securely to help ensure safe delivery.
