"The Ben," in Lochlaber, Highland, Scotland, is the highest point in the British Isles, and at 1345m, it is a full 162m higher than Northern Scotland's Carn Eige. It is the remnant of an old volcano, and its smooth West and South faces are contrasted by very rugged and steep cliffs on the North and East sides.

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 here.

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.
