North and Middle Sister, Oregon, USA, 1:25000

While not as high, or as frequently summitted as South Sister, Middle and North Sister differentiate themselves by their activity (both are dormant while South is not), their type (North Sister is a shield volcano, the others are stratovolcanoes), and topography (North is most eroded and exhibits many rock pinnacles, Middle is cone-shaped and has more ice cover). Together, they are only a few of the magnificent peaks along the High Cascades in Central Oregon. Since North and Middle Sisters are the closest, they share a single TinyMtn model. Make sure to check out our South Sister models as well!

TinyMtn models are most affordable in the "Sandstone" and "White Natural Versatile Plastic" materials. This model is in "Sandstone," which is a glued gypsum material. When you receive the model it will be ready for display, though it may smell funny and need some time to air out. "Sandstone" models are much more brittle than "Versatile Plastic" models, but feel more like light stone. Do not soak it in water, though you can safely seal it with Polycrylic or a similar water-based clear spray sealant. Read more about this popular material here.

All TinyMtn models have hollow bottoms - this is to save on weight, and thus cost. Many larger models also have extra flanges on their undersides to increase rigidity and strength. To make the model more solid, you should feel free to carefully pour resin into the bottom cavity, or glue a properly-sized slab of wood or another material into it.

These models have been optimized for the above materials, and are not offered in other materials for strength or cost reasons. If you need one in another material, please tinymtnbiz@gmail.com and we'll do our best to fulfill your request.
