Indiana Jones, Dial Of Destiny Prop in Metallic Gold Color / Finish

Want one of these but feeling a little out of reach by price?
No worries - here are the plans if you feel inclined to print one, yourself. You got this!

These are made to order with a lead time of about a week for parts printing, painting and assembly.

This is my interpretation of the Dial of Destiny Archimedes Dial prop after staring at film premiere photos and the hand-sculped prop at Disney World and after having seen the film a few times.  I have about 100+ hobby hours into the design (starting around April) over several early design iterations and prototypes before settling with this build and design.

This is the first prop I’ve ever tried to build from scratch and you can see my process of learning how to do it here:

They made a number of different props (sizes, material and function) for the film. A larger Hero prop, several smaller props of various build completion that fit into Indy’s messenger bag and on Archimedes’ workbench and an acrylic motorized prop for CGI overlay.

I made two build sizes.

The large build was 280mm (240mm on the short sides) by 48mm.

As of 4/21/2024, I still make the small build and demand is manageable, now.

The small build is 240mm by 210m by 41mm. This is consistent with the size of the prop on display at Disney World and what you see on-screen. This build is made from a combination of materials, PLA+, PLACF (Carbon Fiber) but the majority of it is Resin. I intentionally built this one to be heavy, to feel realistic in the hand.

Both are painted in Gold Leaf and hand-assembled from about 28 parts. The hands move, it can be displayed assembled or in split-view similar to the film Premiere and includes a static compass for the center assembly that can be optionally installed. It does not facilitate travel through time but congratulations, you are already traveling forward in time at the rate of 1 second per second. :)
