About Ancient Replicas

Teach Bible History

Miniature Biblical replicas are interesting and exciting. Our hand-crafted miniature replicas of museum artifacts are great visual aids to show friends, students, children, and anyone about how the Bible has been accurate in the people, places, and events that it mentions. You can also benefit by researching each artifact and teaching its significance and historicity.

Our Replicas

Each replica is made using KingStone which is a unique gypsum stone casting material. They are carved or sculpted museum reproductions created for the study of the Bible and history, with enough accuracy for discussion and teaching. We create two kinds of artifacts:

(1) Historical. Miniature replicas of items that appeared a certain way in history. For example if an ancient temple contained a certain monument that is on display at a museum, we would create a miniature replica of that monument.

(2) Biblical. Miniature replicas of people, things, and events mentioned in the Bible. For example the Bible mentions "Sargon" king of Assyria by name, and since his stone carved portrait was found by archaeologists and is on display at the British Museum, we created a miniature replica.

Our Ancient Fortresses

We have created the various components that make up an ancient fortress. For example the Assyrian Fortress has Outer Walls with parapet battlements at the top for archers. There are also Outer Towers, Entry Towers, Gateways, Processions, Arches, Inner Walls, Inner Rooms, and many different historical artifacts like Winged Bulls, Winged Deities, and Decorative Items that are all inspired by ancient Assyrian History. After Assyria we will be creating the Babylonian Fortress with many Biblical and historical replicas. Then Persia, and then Greece and so on.

Building Your Fortress

It's actually very easy to create the Assyrian fortress the way YOU want. You have walls and towers and artifacts that can be glued together and placed in any order that looks good to you. Please send us your pictures and we will add them to our gallery.

Assembling the Wall and Towers

Each wall and tower has 20 or more pieces, but its easy and fun to glue them together and later paint them. You will need to decide on the glue that you will want to use to assemble the pieces together. We recommend a strong clear glue like wood glue that doesn't color after it dries. There is no need for a glue that is too strong, you don't need gorilla glue or super glue. You also don't need any clamps for this. You can glue the artifacts to the walls and display them however you want.

Painting the Replicas

Each replica comes white and unpainted. We recommend going to a store like Michaels and getting some paint and accessories. The replicas are easy to paint and you can experiment to get the ancient color effect you are looking for. Most of the examples on this website were created using the faux finish painting effect. To achieve this we first painted the item in a darker solid color, and then very lightly brushed a lighter colored overcoat. This gives it a look of being aged and weathered. You can get bronze metallic paint for an interesting ancient bronze effect. We recommend paint that is water based so that clean up is easy.
