Product Description
If you haven't seen photos of the Maroon Bells, then you are probably mistaken. These are likely two of the most-photographed mountains in the world. They rise at the end of a glaciated valley in the Elk Mountains in Colorado, just down the road from Aspen. Their name comes from the slightly maroonish color of their metamorphic sedimentary mudstone, different from the Rockies' more typical limestone and granite. We're happy to add this famous pair of peaks to our catalog, and a little embarrassed that it took this long.
Model scale is 1:50000
Model measures 2.9" x 4.2" x 1.28" (7.5 x 10.7 x 3.3 cm)

TinyMtn models are most affordable in the "Sandstone" and "White Natural Versatile Plastic" materials. This model is in "Sandstone," which is a glued gypsum material. When you receive the model it will be ready for display, though it may smell funny and need some time to air out. "Sandstone" models are much more brittle than "Versatile Plastic" models, but feel more like light stone. Do not soak it in water, though you can safely seal it with Polycrylic or a similar water-based clear spray sealant. Read more about this popular material here.
All TinyMtn models have hollow bottoms - this is to save on weight, and thus cost. Many larger models also have extra flanges on their undersides to increase rigidity and strength. To make the model more solid, you should feel free to carefully pour resin into the bottom cavity, or glue a properly-sized slab of wood or another material into it.
These models have been optimized for the above materials, and are not offered in other materials for strength or cost reasons. If you need one in another material, please tinymtnbiz@gmail.com and we'll do our best to fulfill your request.
