Zero wheels, circular cross-section? Sounds like a model like the Blimp that hangs over the Imagination Center at the Mall of America...

John-

Gee, a little mis-direction goes a long way in these things. To be clear: the general Big Thing is not circular, but there are some circular cross sections present.

True story: When Thomas appeared on I’ve Got a Secret and stumped the panel trying to guess that he was the US national LEGO champion, it became trivial once Teri Garrs seized on “something you do in the living room” and couldn’t move on and took the rest of the panel with her.

Answer: No, it’s not a blimp.

Extended answer: It sits solidly on the ground.
