More geographic relief models. The small image left shows the Port of Rotterdam in relief, including the bottom of the sea. It is part of a larger relief: the complete coastline of the Netherlands. This coastline has been machined as a 7 meter long relief model for a Dutch coastal defence exhibition. This same model, machined in wood on a smaller scale, is competing for the RapidPro Award.
