I spent six years constructing a scale model of Adak, parts of which are shown here during its construction. Each 1/16 inch layer represents a 100 foot increase in elevation and it is 32 inches across. The contours were filled in with plastic wood and shaped with dental tools and ultimately painted in Varathane colors. Two failed attempts to produce a master mold almost destroyed it, but I finally succeeded in producing a silicon rubber mold, from which I have produced two plaster-of-paris copies, one of which is at the Adak Museum.
