    Description

    We are Omaha Orrery. Our pieces have appeared in television series (Startrek Discovery), Broadway plays and commercial videos. (Watch for our model in upcoming Season 3 of Snowpiercer.) Like the solar systems we painstakingly produce, this is an orbiter model we've transformed by a little ingenuity, metallic paint, art images from ancient designs printed on canvas, antique gels, many coats of polymers and many many hours of work. No two are identical. This model features an image of an ancient celestial map and tall ships in trouble.
    These are fully functional. The sun lights up. The gears move the earth and moon around the sun. It is not electrified. These are plastic models (some metal) which have been painted to look brass and wood. (Genuine wood and metal orrerys are available online but cost upwards of ,000.) This started out as a
    students model
    to illustrate the earths rotation around the sun and the moons rotation around the earth. It is 16.5 inches across and approximately 12.5" tall which means it is a showstopper. We do not consider this a toy for anyone under the age of 12.
    We're unsure how long we will create this particular model because of the amount of time it consumes to create.
    The base has been handpainted a beautiful emerald green. There is a canvas overlay of an ancient celestial map.  There are a number of Swarovski crystals. We've used a high grade commercial metallic paint to give the appearance of brass on the gears, the sun and the earth.
    Please know that these are not designed as lamps or nightlights.
    Again PLEASE NOTE: These are custom made - We estimate a 3-4 week turn around. They are lovely and there will only be a handful of these in existence.
    AS ART WORK, THESE ARE NON RETURNABLE.
    Free shipping in the contiguous 48 states.
    We will happily ship anywhere else in the universe at your cost (within Ebay and USPS sanctioned countries) Item weighs approximately 5 lbs and carefully ships in a 12 x 12 x 12 box.
    Please ask all questions prior to buying. Thank you.
