Canyonlands NP, Utah, USA, 1:50000

The American Southwest has lot to offer a fan of landscape and terrain: Arches, Zion, Monument Valley, and obviously the Grand Canyon. Often overlooked, Canyonlands National Park, South of Moab in Utah, rivals them all in variety if not majesty and beauty. This 3D printed model covers the center of the park, containing the South part of Island In The Sky, including Grand View Point Overlook, the Colorado River and Meander Canyon, The Loop, White Rim, Monument Basin, and the highest point, Junction Butte. If LiDAR scans ever become available, we will create 3D models of The Needles - one of the most unique and weird places on Earth. Until then, please enjoy this colorful model of one of the hidden gems of the US National Park system!

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.
