About this 3D model

Digital elevation data retrieved from [NY Orthos Online](http://www.orthos.dhses.ny.gov/), tiled and converted to heightmap images with [QGIS](http//qgis.org), and inefficiently converted to STL using my program [hmstl](https://github.com/anoved/hmstl). Terrain is clipped to the Binghamton city limits using a mask image derived from municipal boundaries provided by [Broome County GIS](http://broomegis.co.broome.ny.us/website/gisweb/gisrequest.htm). The red version pictured above was printed in ABS on a library Makerbot 2X. I have since reprinted the model in unpigmented PLA on my Printrbot Simple. Here is a short video clip of adding some detail to the PLA version with acrylic paint: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhWAyQxnE68
