MUSEUM EXHIBIT / PROJECT
Mount St. Helens Terrain
The Yakima Valley Museum asked us to make a terrain model of Mount St. Helens and the surrounding area. They wanted visitors to see the shape of the landscape in detail.
ABOUT THE MODEL
Mount St. Helens Exhibit
We started with elevation data, made a 3D file and cut the topography on a CNC machine. We used satellite imagery for the laser-etched grayscale finish. The model measures 36 by 42 inches, at 1 inch to 1,500 feet.
The grayscale finish keeps attention on the landforms and changes in elevation.
