That may well be true but remember we need to keep this thread about model making only or there maybe be more disagreements with people again :thumbsup
I haven't found them cheaper actually, they're normally around the same

Sorry, didn't actually read the whole thread, just skimmed to the cool build shots and read about filling it up with live stock. Didn't mean to start/propogate/continue anything by the thread.

remember when you get around to the animals that noah took 7 of the clean and 2 of the unclean (everyone always forgets that), if you wish to be more accurate in your model =)
also don't confuse the modern definition of "species" with the word "kind" the scripture uses. species is more narrow of a term than kind is. for example you only need 2 dogs and not 200 of every breed.
other than that, the ark itself is basically an unpowered barge. will be interested to see the final product!

Some scholars even inurpret this to mean seven pairs of the clean animals... meaning fourteen of each! Of course, that would make sense if the intent is to breed them, but that would also mean taking up even more room on an already crowded vessel. Seven could mean three pairs and a bonus animal to sacrifice to God!

"Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female."
it could be read that way. I don't know the subtleties of the Hebrew that well to say. id be ok with 14.
"And Noah builded an altar unto the Lord; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar."
yep, he needed spare clean animals for sacrifice after the flood in genesis 8.

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol
Thanks. But first I'll see if I can find them at a poundland near me.
thunderbolt47d: Thanks.
I'm really glad with how it turned out too. And on the subject of models, I'm not sure what scale it is exactly, but probably closer to 1/160.

good interpretation on a famous story, i thought this was the ark from the new aronofsky film, but cool none the less, i'll just put it out there... i dont believe in this story or in the ark since it was never found and doesn't make any sense to me with that being said, but i do appreciate the model being built off of something you believe in and have a passion for, good luck with the build!
Hey! I don't feel like starting a thread for my own Ark project. But, I figured I'd show you my progress on my own model. (Don't worry, I'm not gonna hijack your thread!)
It's about two feet long. The back wall, which will be visible through the open door, is detailed, but the rest is just painted black. The whole thing is built of sheets and strips of styrene.
Anyhow, I'm looking forward to seeing your next attempt!

That looks really cool! I love the detail you've put into that back wall. How long did that take you to make?
I hope you manage to finish it.
Thanks! The pieces of wood I got are almost exactly 3 feet long, so this ark is going to be pretty big. I've got to think about where to put it.
On the subject of actually building it, two lengths of wood next to each other gives the right length and width. But if I just glue them together, it will be too weak and might fall apart, won't it? So I'm planning on cutting up one of the thinner lengths of wood and sticking those pieces on top of the main two. I might have to use more than one of the thin lengths of wood to cover the whole length of the ark, but that would work, wouldn't it? I hope that makes sense.

Great work so far, gang! Keep going!

Forget the fact that the story of Noah has been around for over 5000 years, is in EVERY culture on the planet, and even the Chinese alphabet's number 8 is based on the story of Noah......
If the Ark was found, how many would still refuse to believe? Yet millions believe in evolution, which is in itself 'faith', or bigfoot......or aliens......or bipartisanship.........
That's the beautiful thing....no one HAS to believe in anything, for either side of the coin. It's what we choose to believe in that matters to us personally. And my choice does not make me somehow more intelligent or enlightened than your choice.
The fact that I don't believe in evolution, or bigfoot, etc., does not make me smarter than those who do, nor does it make me 'uneducated' either.
And yes, I am replying expressly because it was 'just thrown out there'......
Like I said earlier, great build, that was made as a replica from the actual build instructions of the source material.

Whether you consider the ark to be a subject of fact or fiction to me is irrelevant to the fine job you're doing on this build. It's nice to see young people who can do more with their hands and minds than play video games or use a smartphone.
Let's not get into a debate about whether or not it really happened, please. I don't want this thread to get closed.
SofaKing01: Thanks.
trekriffic: Thank you. Honestly, I spend much too much time on the computer, so I'm trying to spend more of my time doing productive things, like this.

+1. :thumbsup Mostly because I'm a middle aged guy who doesn't know how to use a smart phone!
Thanks! I really don't ever keep track of how many hours anything takes, I know I'll only disappoint myself if I actually account for how I spend all my time...
I'm not sure I understand what you're describing. However, I suggest you might put ribs that run transversely to the seam in your strips of wood. That's not only strengthen it up a great deal, but it will also make the interior look that much more authentic.
Also, sounds like your Ark is gonna be 1:150 scale, in case you were wondering. A guy would be about 12 mm tall.
Have fun with your build!

Nice build and N scale sounds like the way to go as someone mentioned before. I model in N scale and it is 1:160 as stated. And don’t mind the people poking fun and laughing they laughed and made fun of Noah too “until the day that Noah entered into the ark and they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away”. As for the n scale animals try woodland scenic or Preiser. They have tigers, bears, elephants, giraffes...and the Preiser - Shepherds & flock w/dog item No.# Preiser 79160 would make a nice Noah figure.
