IMPORTANT NOTICE!
FEBUARY 2022 UPDATE
The model shop/studio has been sold and I must relocate asap. This is a complicated process and as soon as I can get situated I'll get back to making more fine models of our Flat Earth. Contact me for serious inquiries about the 3 large models left for sale to work out payments and shipping arrangements. Thanks for stopping by. Chris C. Pontius

Fine artistry by Chris C. Pontius
Designing, building, and inventing since I was a child, I was born with an insatiable curiosity about "how things work" . Thriving on innovation and pushing my talents beyond their limits, some say I can build or fix anything. Energized to create a working model of the Flat Earth in 2015, I used a dc toy motor and made some led's spin around a map using a cake cover for the dome sitting on a custom wood base.
They have evolved
I soon learned how to form my own Plexiglass domes and engineer a reliable mechanism to create the independent sun/moon movements. I was then able to etch the actual star pattern into a rotating dome to re-create the constellations we see. They light up well with plain white led's or colored with dynamic chase patterns. The under lights or "backwash lighting" creates a floating effect and can be programmed with buttons in the frame, a compact remote or the option of a Bluetooth/Android app for your smart phone.
