My son has to construct a 3D model of Potassium. I can find plenty of pictures of the Bohr models that are not 3D. Does anyone know where I can find a quality color 3D pic to use as a reference. I have searched the interwebs with no luck. Thanks.

Use that as a basis if you are making it to represent the nucleus and the surrounding electron orbitals. Otherwise use Chemsketch or Chemdraw maybe.

Styrofoam balls of various sizes. 1 for protons 1 for neutrons & another size for electrons

Would need 19 protons 20 neutrons and 19 electrons

Use toothpicks or wooden skewers for connecting I assume? My idea was to use one styrofoam ball for the nucleus and run skewers through it, then use smaller styrofoam colored balls for the protons, neutrons, and electrons. Sound about right?

Protons&Neutrons make up the nucleus. electrons go around that.

+ = protons
orange = neutron
- = electrons

apply this to K
