Model scale is 1:60000
Model covers an area approximately 10 by 9 km
Altitudes covered: -5m to 794m
This model was built with vertical exaggeration of 1:1.8.
This means that the elevation is more steep and rugged in the model than in real life.

TinyMtn models are most affordable in the "Sandstone" and "White Strong and Flexible" 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 "White Strong and Flexible" 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

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
