"Picu Urriellu" in the local Asturian, the rock named Naranjo de Bulnes by a visiting German geologist is a prominent and strikingly beautiful summit on the northern edge of the Picos de Europa in north-central Spain. It is without question the crowning achievement of mountaineering in Spain, with a challenging 550 meter tall wall on the West face. A 3D printed map this detailed would not be possible without the generosity of Spain's Plan Nacional de Ortofotografía Aérea (PNOA), which provided both the geometric detail and the aerial photograph used in this model.

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
