A first test print was made with low quality settings and tested aginst a scale drawing to see that it looked correct.
Smaller parts were glued and welded into bigger parts until the full length of the project was achieved. In total there were over 40 printed pieces that had to be connected.
This is just a test measurement to see that the scale was right and that the full size diorama would not be to big.
Next step was to glue a detailed printed map onto wooden boards and drill in pins to connect the 3d print to the right place in the world.
Heres a close up of the pins holding the 3d model in place so that you get teh feeling that it is hoovering over the map.
To get the final touch I added white frame.
