Is anyone selling scale model moons? Ie. Io, Iapetus etc?

The moons in our solar system are remarkably diverse and interesting. My google-fu is failing me, but I was hoping to get a set of models of moons to admire. Anyone making these?
This site has Jupiter's moons listed as "coming soon."
"Planetary globes" seems to be a useful search term.

Best answer: Solar system planets and moons - they're small models, and are to a logarithmic scale, but there are a good nine moons there (plus planets), including Io, Iapetus, etc.

There are some glue-it-yourself paper models of the planets (text is German). I'd imagine that it wouldn't be too hard to adapt their design to use other 3D models.
