The Local Squire of a beautiful village wants to produce a small scale replica of the village centre using natural looking materials. The replica is to be sold in the village gift shop and should show all the main attractions of the village. You are to design the replica and produce a prototype model that could be shown to the King of England hopefully to get him to come to the village on his next progress.

Your design should:

1. Be accurately scaled to the real village

2. Be no larger that 300mm square.

3. Have a background view.

4. Be capable of being displayed when assembled.

5. Be tough enough to withstand handling.

6. Look real.
