1/6 scale Ark of the Covenant

[kalkamel]

Hey guys! Back after a long absence! Anyway, I recently bought a 1/6 sale Ark of the Covenant kit from COW member Indiana Paul. I have to say, the details are amazing! And very little clean up required; I only had to deburr the fences on the mercy seat... easily done with hobby files. I primed the parts and painted them with Krylon 18kt Gold paint and I have to say I'm very pleased with the final result:











On a side note, I've also got 1:1 scale Ark cherubs primed and ready to paint the same way:

Nice work! The detailing looks spot on.

Very cool Kal. It looks great!

By the way welcome back!


Some of us got into a conversation a little while back about making a full scale Ark kit that someone would put together and then the rest could buy copies of.

Of course at my current residence I don't have the room for something that big but once I do I have plans on how I would like to display it......including putting speakers inside of it so it would play the "humming" sound like the movie version and placing a fog machine either inside it or around it to recreate the smoke rolling out of it after it's opened.

That really is a fine looking mini-ark!

Congrats,

Ken

Very nice detail on that, Kalkamel. No uneven spots or build up of paint either. Nice detailing!

Is this for a diorama or is it a 12" Indy accessory? Very nice work all the way around.

What's a mini-ark kit run anyway?

Thanks for the kind words, guys. Harry, it's great to be back. That full scale Ark project sounds cool. I would absolutely be in on that one.

AC, the kit is sold by Indiana Paul on Club Obiwan. I think he's got some kits left. You should get in touch with him for pricing. I can PM you his email address if you want.

Thanks, Kalkamel.

I'm still looking to piece my gear together with a real bullwhip so a mini-ark would have to wait, more than likely. I was just curious to see what the ballpark on one was. It's a great looking miniature, though.

Well, it's probably not something in anyones immediate future. Heck, I still need to get a bigger house before I think about getting a prop that size. That and there's the whole thing with the lack of funds to spend on something like that. I don't even have the cash to put together my custom 12 inch Indy figure that I wanted to do a long time ago......which I might add your Ark would go great with!

[kalkamel]

Again, a full scale Ark would be the ultimate Indy prop replica to have in the house. I wish I knew someone who can do good wood carving to make the box panels and the lid. I've already got the cherubs.

That's very cool. Can you PM me some details and the contact, so I can see if my meagre budget can handle it, please?

[propcollcetor]

i would like one of these....is this the same size as the card holder?
Is he still making these?

That would go great with my 1:6 Indy & Colonel Deitrich.

I want to know if you could make me those cherubs, but i want them regular sized for an ark...please, how much?
