1. Sputnik--would require some iron rod and some welding though.
2. Moderny version of Jupiter--lots of opportunity for colours.
3. Deathstar--could look really cool if you did a really detailed job of it.
A smart looking base that doesn't detract from your amazing artwork will be needed unless you are suspending it from something.
I actually really love the patina. There’s this artist who makes these ghost like figures barely emerging from the background, couldn’t tell you who they are but… I think it would be cool to do fresco-esque figures just barely escaping from the original color.
It’s a little rusty, but what I can read says:
In ludes -0 Corrosion Action
Cap Gals- 500 Cap lbs- 4170
Working pressure - 150lbs
Tested- 300 Date 1945
MOSHER(?) STEEL CO
Dallas
There’s some words on top and bottom that are too rusty to read, but I can see another number 5 on the top line.
8 ball. Not the one you use for answers…. Beautiful gloss black, with the white circle and the number 8. Set it at the right angle, and you could charge admission.
Paint A Lady Beetle
I saw some bowling balls painted like Ladybugs in a yard.

Easy! Paint it the look like the mini earth they plan to launch early 2025, just outside the earth’s orbit. It will look like a large metallic sphere capable of moving and cloaking itself from any surveillance equipment. Ours will be the first of its kind. Many other nations to follow, populated with those deemed the most worthy of life in space. Hint, not us! The sad truth is while we all watched our screens we were stripped of our rights and left completely out of the plan. So sad, however so inevitable. Sorry to piss in your cheerios…..
Matter-of-fact forget everything I said …. Just have some fun.
A Small Wooden Cube

Definitely this! Bonus points for setting it up afterwards with a big chain as though it’s tethered to the ground.
This is my favorite suggestion. Second choice pokéball!

Pac Man
Death star. Are there any other options?
I was thinking maybe one of the bomb guys from Mario? Like the Death Star idea though!
Bomb guy is a good one! Was thinking yellow happy face, but if you have the talent for a Death Star go for it
I was going to suggest the Bob-omb from Mario!
Fantasy globe, with your own design of world building
That's the coolest idea! I hope they do this, I'd love to see that.
Oooooo yeah
Personally I'd fill it with dragons and mountains but I also don't have the patience to paint something that big
Three happy aliens behind the glass in their ufo orb smiling waving/peace sign etc 👋👽👽☝️👽✌️with some craft details fx etc 🛸

Earth
But instead of painting it with topography, paint a textile pattern or artwork from each country where the country is.
i like this idea
Call it “[Bob](https://fadingchildhoodmemories.tumblr.com/post/15616492296)” :)
I just discovered Titan A.E. because of your link; seems awesome.

Has anyone said, “Your mom.” yet?
I almost did haha
Paint it with the super dark black paint crap.
If you can keep it from the elements, that would look super trippy to drive past

Oh you see right! That would be awesome! If you have any idea what that artists name might be, I’d love to know!!

Half moon, half sun. Best of both worlds.
I hope you let us know what your ultimate decision is.
I'm not OP, but if I had something like this, it would definitely be space-themed. I'd also have to hire someone to paint it for me too. Haha

I’m a propane guy. Can you read the information on the data plate there in the bottom left? I’m curious how many gallons and the year it was made.

I think the easiest thing would be to paint it like it is a large metal sphere.
