New "P/G" Flat Earth map
Finally! A new, hand painted map with the Mercator north pole and "gates" or passages in the ice wall. 200 hours of work by Chris Pontius & David Gordon went into this original masterpiece. This will be used for all models from now on.
New styles and sizes of models are made every month so check this site later for more fine art.
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.

What is Orgonite?
Orgonite is a substance made of resin, metals and quartz that balances and harmonises bio-energy, otherwise known as orgone, chi or prana.
Dr Wilhelm Reich, an Austrian psychiatrist, researched orgone energy in the earlier half of the 20th century, and today’s orgonite devices are built on his findings. While conducting his research, Dr. Reich found that organic materials attract and hold orgone energy, while non-organic metals simultaneously attract and repel the energy.
Orgonite is based on these two principles. It is a 50-50 mix of resin (organic, due to the fact that it is based on petrochemicals), and metal shavings (inorganic). A quartz crystal is also added to the orgonite mix. This is because of its piezoelectric properties, which means that it gives off a charge when it is put under pressure (resin shrinks when it is cured, so constant pressure is put on the quartz crystal).
Due to the fact that the elements contained in orgonite are constantly attracting and repelling energy, a “scrubbing” action takes place, and along with the charge that the crystal gives off, this cleans stagnant and negative energy, and brings it back to a healthy, vibrant state.
What are the benefits of orgonite?
The effects of orgonite differ from person to person. Some feel the energy straight away (usually as a tingling or warm sensation) while for others the effects are cumulative. The most commonly reported effects of orgonite are:
• Better sleep and vivid dreams
• More energy
• Balanced moods
• Decreased sensitivity to EMFs
• Spiritual and psychological growth
• Increased resistance to illness (orgonite should never be used as a substitute for pro medical care)

What are some uses for orgonite?
Most people use orgonite to balance and strengthen their energetic field, and to help provide protection against EMFs. You can also use it to:
• Deepen meditation
• Boost plant growth
• Remove negative energy in a specific place
• Strengthen intentions and motivation

A review from Mark Sargent
The 3D Flat Earth models by Chris Pontius are the highest quality I have seen to date, bar none. I've watched his technique evolve over the last few years, and what he is producing now is simply incredible. The attention to detail, the superb mechanisms, his pieces are not just a great representation of the Flat Earth concept, but also beautiful works of art. It makes me smile every time I walk by one. Long Live Flat Earth!
Customer Review
Greetings Chris!
What a BEAUTIFUL model you have built! It came exceptionally fast AND to my delight, this was packaged second to none! Absolutely phenomenal job of packing! Professional!
The model online as I saw it was quite impressive. Even the video was stunning. BUT, in person, this earth model is completely mesmerizing! The craftsmanship and quality build is beyond impressive! Worth every bit the asking price! The lights are incredible and rotating dome with constellations named is a fantastic educational tool you have grafted in to the model. Love the remote control it came with. Looking forward to putting a video out soon of this gorgeous model #60!
If you are humming over whether or not these are worth it, let me just say, "YES THEY ARE". Chris treated me with a down to earth, pleasant manner. He believes in what he is doing and it shows that he takes his work extremely seriously! Loved the little touch with the Flat Earth Frisbee thrown in!
Thank you for your dedication and determination to get these out there! It makes conversation with someone much easier when you have a working model in front of their eyes!
Sincerely, Jody Midgley
