Since 2013, Peter Bolt\u2014whose company is called Landfall<\/a>\u2014has been making bespoke 3D relief models based on from nautical charts, Ordnance Survey maps and aerial photographs (see his portfolio<\/a> for examples). The models are layered along contour lines\u2014a process that can be seen in several of his videos<\/a>. Everything is a custom job, made by hand; prices begin around \u00a3250 for an A4-sized model and go up from there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
