Here is an idea which waited a long time for realization and maybe would still wait, if it isn't for this: [link]
The idea of that contest almost perfectly matched with what I wanted to do, so I thought: it's the right time, let's do it. Well, my back do not agree with it anymore, but it's too late now
I can't give you the sizes really, this time. The nutshell is an average walnut shell half, so you can take your guesses I hope. I would estimate clown's size to some 2-3 mm.
In case you need the list, this circus (visibly ) contains: one tent, four strings of lamps (two barely visible in the back), the flag, one wagon (in the background, for which I'm quite sorry :/), one elephant, one seal with the ball on its nose and one clown.
Some pieces, like wagon decorations and decorations on elephant cover are gilded with golden paint. Mostly made out of fimo, with some PVA and some silk (string for lamp ropes).
