Often commercial decorator balloons are a lot better choice for small
lifting tasks than weather balloons which are quite fragile. Qualatex
makes a 30 inch balloon that is rugged and gets into the range needed
to lift some Lego projects, though it may take several to get a brick
off the ground. Flower/balloon decorator shops should be able to point
you at the local supplier.
Details on balloon lift are at
www.chem.hawaii.edu/uham/lift.html
It is aimed at Ham antennas, but lift is lift. You even get FAA regs, in
case you have really lofty Lego plans
