Puncak Jaya (Carstensz Pyramid) 10km Collectible Mountain

myminifactory

Although Carstensz Pyramid stands as the lowest summit of the Seven Summits, it proves to be one of the most formidable climbs. Enveloped by the dense jungle of New Guinea, home to warring tribes with a notorious appetite for human flesh, this mountain poses a significant challenge. The combination of its remote location, recent political unrest, and an extensive stretch of technical rock makes Carstensz Pyramid as demanding as any other summit in the Seven Summits. You can watch a video tutorial on how to create your own miniature mountains at This is part of my series of "collectible mountains." All models in this series are rendered at 1:100,000 scale. The model represents an area of 10 km by 10 km, with its base set at sea level, allowing for accurate comparisons between the different peaks. Have you ever wondered just how much larger Everest is compared to Mt. Shasta? Now you can hold both in your hands and compare them. We discussed creating 3D models like this and many more topics related to 3D printing on the 3D Printing Today podcast, available on iTunes, Stitcher radio, or directly from our source at http://threedprintingtoday.libsyn.com/ For complete instructions on how to create models from digital elevation data, visit my blog at http://www.the3dprintedfuture.com/shapespeare/?p=1
