This miniature model represents the May 18 Democratic Cemetery, honoring those who sacrificed their lives from May 18 to 27, 1980, in resistance against military dictatorship, martial law, and for the release of democratic leaders. The model commemorates the democratization movement dedicated to these ideals.
CAD Drawing
Issue: We faced the challenge of starting without any blueprints.
Solution:
Satellite Maps and Measurements: Utilized internet satellite maps to measure and sketch the entire cemetery site accurately.
Purchase and Modification of Contour Lines: Obtained current contour lines of the location and adjusted them as needed to proceed with the project.
Ratio Calculation and Verification: Compared contour lines with satellite maps to calculate precise ratios for accurate representation.
Miniature Model Drawing: Reduced building scales to 500:1 and terrain scales to 600:1 to create detailed miniature drawings.
On-Site Visits and Measurements: Personally visited the cemetery to measure all buildings and confirm the overall structure using videos.
Texture and Pattern Verification: Examined photographs and videos to accurately replicate textures and patterns on the ground and building surfaces.
Through these steps, we successfully overcame the challenge of starting without any blueprints and completed the project effectively.

Sculpture
Since all the sculptures had a deep meaning in the history of democratization, I tried to make their meanings look better.
Statue
There were two statues, but the size was less than 10mm in size. It was a sculpture with many democratized warriors within 5X2mm. One person was a small size of about 1.5mm, but it was made as close as possible to the action of a person.
Trees
Tombstones
I wanted to inscribe on tombstones but canceled because it was a size that visitors could not see. It was unfortunate that the names of passed away people could not be inscribed in the tombstone.
