GZG did do a space station, I'm assuming they still do.

I've done something similar with polystyrene balls, though the
largest I have currently are 10cm diameter:

I do need some larger ones for larger planets, and have
actually found somewhere which does them. The larger ones
even come in two halves, which is perfect.

Doing anything around gas giants at the scales I use is
probably impractical unless I can find a really big floor.
