	My local craft store has 3 inch plastic spheres that
	come apart into two halves (they are ment for making 
	xmas ornaments).  Glue the ship's stand inside the sphere
	and place the sphere in a sort of cup, so it can be
	rotated into various orientations.
	The lines you describe could be painted on the sphere.
