I need to make a model Dome of Rock.

Source: www.bibleplaces.com

The only idea that I've come up with is making a paper dome.

Other wise, I have no clue.

What size? Does it have to have the interior as well? Does it need to be to scale?

Googling "Dome of Rock model", I got this: http://commons.wikim...l_by_Schick.JPG

 

I like this one too: http://www.reuters.com/article/2007/02/20/us-palestinians-israel-shrine-idUSL2046161620070220

 

Possibly painted foamboard and a styrofoam dome?

Supplic-ants.

A good material is foam board.

Other material more expensive is balsa wood

 

Don't use hard paper, the result will not be good.

 

Alternatively you can use cardboard. (containerbord)

 

If you can get drawings of the elevations of the temple (facades), you can print the elevations at some reasonable scale and glue them on the cardboard, then cut carefully around with a cutter (olfa cutter type), then collate all together.

If it is your first model, you'll need help.

 

You may find some valuable information about the building plans at this address.

I found some architectural drawings downloadable at ArchNet.org. They may have the elevations michel mentioned. I don't know if they're AutoCAD files or not, or if they'll help, but it's worth a try.

Good.

These are Autocad drawings copyrighted. You'll have to check if you can use them, for homework I suppose you can, always mentionning your source.

After downloading you need only to look at Dome3.dwg: Dome of the Rock

If you don't have Autocad, you may find a free viewer on the Net (Google "free Autocad viewer), then extract with a printscreen (also free on the web). The most difficult will be to do that at scale.

For an easier model than attempting a reconstruction from Architectural plans (a great project but very difficult) you could try googling "paper craft dome of the rock"

 

I found this pretty quickly here http://paper-replika...5&Itemid=200144
