The Ark Encounter Miniature Project (AIG Edition)
Bringing the Ark Encounter to Families, Classrooms and Communities Across Tge Globe
“Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood…” – Genesis 6:14 (NASB 2020)
Project Overview
We have designed and produced a breathtaking scale model of The Ark Encounter (Kentucky, USA) – now reimagined as an educational, hands-on construction kit made from laser-cut 3mm plywood. This unique project serves as both a STEM-based learning experience and a powerful visual tool to share the biblical account of Noah’s Ark.
The completed miniature is:
- Is available in 3 sizes
- Made from 760 precision-cut pieces
- Designed for approximately 15-45 hours of interactive building (depending on size)
Including a workbook that integrates practical building with Scripture-based reflections, linking the biblical story with values of obedience, salvation, creation, and covenant.
A Vision for Global Classrooms & Families
Our goal is to place this model and its supporting resources into every Christian school, church, and home-schooling family across Australia – equipping the next generation with tools to:
- Defend their faith
- Understand biblical history
- See God’s hand in creation
This project is ideal for:
- Christian Education (K–12)
- Home Discipleship
- Holiday & Sunday Programs
- Youth Group Projects
- Church Displays & Outreach
Partnership with Answers in Genesis
This exclusive Ark Encounter Miniature is developed in partnership with Answers in Genesis, offering a faithful representation of the original Ark Encounter in the USA.
We are establishing production capacity across Australia and the USA scaling to over 50,000 units annually.

About
Dr Pickypants incorporating That Model Car is a model design studio and advanced manufacturing business.
In January 2021 I suffered a Traumatic brain injury (TBI) as a result of workplace accident. It has been a difficult time for me and those close to me however my health is slowly improving. I thank God “most days” that I am still here, remembering the event could have been much worse.
To aid in my recovery I started working out of my garage making coasters on a laser cutter. I then started working with some great friends Bruce and Jay to develop this 3d model laser cut model business. Designing and making these models has reminded me that I have value, that I can start to make a positive contribution to the lives of others.
Working on these complex puzzles has given me a great sense of personal achievement. Getting great comments from family and friends about the finished display models has done wonders for my self esteem.
The models we design and manufacture are heirloom quality and made from only FSA approved and manufactured materials sourced from truly sustainable timber plantations.
Whether it is a gift, a challenging project or something stunning to put on display, everyone can benefit from one of our products, made right here in Australia
