This 3D topographic map of the Tongariro Alpine Crossing is a highly detailed, raised-relief model designed to capture the rugged volcanic landscape in an authentic and eye-catching display. Whether you’ve hiked it yourself, plan to one day, or simply love the region, this is a unique and beautiful way to display such a stunning piece of Aotearoa. Our intention with these models is for them to be a reminder to people of their epic achievements, to take them back to moments in their lives that bring a sense of pride and accomplishment. For those of you who might not walk the trails but have a deep connection with these landscapes, I hope they bring you an abundance of happiness and a point of pride to your home. Product specifications: Frame size: Length: 378mm | Width: 302mm Model size: Length: 250mm | Width: 200mm | Height: 65mm Material: Plant based PLA - Industrially compostable Packing materials: All packaging is made from sustainable products Our favourite moments while prototyping came from those who had previously done these hikes or had a particular connection to the area. People would see these models and more often than not, dive into a detailed retelling of their experience, as they traced their steps and relived these memories. For some it had been decades since they had last walked these trails, and now they could again experience the mountains, valleys and vast wilderness that makes New Zealand an international destination. It’s all very well to see something on a screen, but it’s a different experience entirely when you can hold a physical rendition of a memory in your hands. Epic achievements deserve epic recognition. We hope these models will stand not only as a proud testament to what you've accomplished, but also a beautiful piece of art you’re proud to display on your wall. Please note: these prints are not factory produced, each model takes 18-26 hours to print, and the tracks themselves are hand painted then sealed. Due to this, there could be slight variations between models.
