NEED HELP for design of Noahs Ark
I have been asked to build a toy Noahs Ark for a little boy.
Now I usually build my models/toys out of designs in my head and usualy have an idea what something is supposed to look like, but what the heck is Noahs Ark suppose to look like? I have no idea. I have googled for pics and come up with a few ideas but nothing that takes my fancy.
Does anyone have any ideas or maybe old pics or plans for such a toy?
All ideas will be welcome and considered. Oh and guys, bear in mind, this is for a toy and not a model as such. Nothing too complicated. I just need some ideas on the subject and suggestions as to a design.
One more thought. Should I put wheels on the thing or have it as a fixed toy on a base?
Look forward to your input.Reality is no background music.
Cheers John

Well, the length was 300 cubits, the width was 50 cbits and the height was 30 cubits, so that's a good starting point for your dimensions. Now all you have to do is find a cubit ruler.
Not sure that the wheel was invented in Noahs' time?
Actually all "cubit" talk reminds of one of Bill Cosby's sketches.

John, try performing a image search on Google for "Noahs Ark Toy", you'll have thousands of images to work from. This is the the link:

I like the Ark is the film Evan Almighty. Youtube should give lots of images.

A old man with a white beard is standing in the middle of a park with children on swings etc. Looking to heaven he says Ark, what's an Ark. I thought you said build me a park. (Saw that cartoon years ago).

Munruben,
Did you find an Ark plan you liked? What did you decide to build? I just got to know how your story ends.
