Geo Specific Terrain Model

[Smuckatelli]

As per Starfury's request.......

My 12 year old son, Tomas was tasked to give a map reading class to his Boy Scout Troop.

About a month ago the Troop went on an orienteering course with a local organization and he did the best...so they voluntold him to give a class on map reading.

He wanted to build a terrain model like he did in the past for the train set. He thought that it would be easier to show terrain features with a 3 D model. He also wanted it to be a model of real terrain so he went to Staples, had a topo map blown up and commenced to cutting out contour lines.

He was going to put vegetation on but found out that if he did, the contours of the land would be hard to see.

Impressive work, you can see he has put a lot of effort into it.

Awesome work! He must have put some serious man hours into that project.

Great job...looks like he's also going to get the Merit badge for PowerPoint.
Here's what I am imaging he is saying:  "The Girl Guides will be camped here.  They are scheduled to go for nature hike at 0900 hrs.  We'll infiltrate from concealment at 0915.  Our primary targets are supplies for s'mores, and Rebecca Johnson's diary.  Specifically, we're looking for any intel that may help us determine if she is crushing on trooper Berkowitz.  Gentlemen, Operation Stop-n-Shop is a go!"
