## Abstract

A kit for creating a miniature replica of a model object, the kit including a base object that forms a base of the miniature replica, the base object comprising a miniature replica of a component of the model object, a resin container storing a resin configured to be applied to the base object and to adhere to the base object, the resin container comprising a miniature replica of a container associated with the model object, and one or more ingredient objects configured to be at least partially embedded in the resin, the one or more ingredient objects comprising miniature replicas of one or more ingredients associated with the model object, the resin being configured to solidify when exposed to ultraviolet light to thereby affix the resin to the base object and to affix the one or more ingredient objects at least partially within the resin.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A kit for creating a miniature replica of a model object, the kit comprising:
a base object that forms a base of the miniature replica, the base object comprising a miniature replica of a component of the model object;
a resin container storing a resin configured to be applied to the base object and to adhere to the base object, the resin container comprising a miniature replica of a container associated with the model object; and
one or more ingredient objects configured to be at least partially embedded in the resin, the one or more ingredient objects comprising miniature replicas of one or more ingredients associated with the model object;
wherein the resin is configured to solidify when exposed to ultraviolet light to thereby affix the resin to the base object and to affix the one or more ingredient objects at least partially within the resin.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The kit of claim 1, further comprising:
a container housing the base object, the resin container, and the one or more ingredient objects.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The kit of claim 2, wherein at least a portion of the container is reconfigurable to serve as a display device for the miniature replica of the model object.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The kit of claim 1, wherein the base object and the resin comprise complementary properties that enable the ultraviolet light to penetrate the resin.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The kit of claim 4, wherein one or more properties of the resin are customized to one or more of: the base object, the one or more ingredient objects, or the model object.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The kit of claim 5, wherein the one or more properties comprise one or more of: color, translucency, opacity, viscosity, or density.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The kit of claim 1, wherein a surface of the base object comprises a material configured to bond with the resin when the resin is cured.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The kit of claim 1, wherein the model object comprises one of: a food or beverage item, a plant, a room, a geographic formation, a scene, a structure, or a building.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The kit of claim 1, wherein the model object corresponds to one or more categories of models.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The kit of claim 9, wherein the one or more categories of models comprise one or more of: food or beverage items, plants, rooms, geographic formations, scenes, structures, or buildings.

### Claim 11

A kit for creating a miniature replica of a model object, the kit comprising:
a base object that forms a base of the miniature replica of the model object, the base object comprising a miniature replica of a first component of the model object;
a resin container storing a resin configured to be applied to the base object and to adhere to the base object; and
an object container storing one or more additional objects configured to be at least partially embedded in the resin, the one or more additional objects comprising miniature replicas of one or more second components associated with the model object, the object container comprising a miniature replica of a container associated with the model object;
wherein the resin is configured to solidify when exposed to ultraviolet light to thereby affix the resin to the base object and to affix the one or more additional objects at least partially within the resin.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The kit of claim 11, wherein the base object and the resin comprise complementary properties that enable the resin to remain adhered to the base object prior to exposure to the ultraviolet light and enable the ultraviolet light to penetrate the resin.

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The kit of claim 11, wherein a surface of the base object comprises a material configured to bond with the resin when the resin is cured.

### Claim 14 (depends on 11)

The kit of claim 11, wherein the model object comprises one of: a food or beverage item, a plant, a room, a geographic formation, a scene, a structure, or a building.

### Claim 15 (depends on 11)

The kit of claim 11, wherein the model object corresponds to one or more categories of models.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

The kit of claim 15, wherein the one or more categories of models comprise one or more of: food or beverage items, plants, rooms, geographic formations, scenes, structures, or buildings.

### Claim 17

A kit for creating a miniature replica of a model object, the kit comprising:
a base object that forms a base of the miniature replica of the model object, the base object comprising a miniature replica of a first component of the model object;
a resin container storing a resin configured to be applied to the base object and to adhere to the base object, the resin container comprising a miniature replica of a container associated with the model object; and
one or more additional objects configured to be at least partially embedded in the resin, the one or more additional objects comprising miniature replicas of one or more second components of the model object;
wherein the resin is configured to solidify to thereby affix the resin to the base object and to affix the one or more additional objects at least partially within the resin.

### Claim 18 (depends on 17)

The kit of claim 17, wherein the resin is configured to solidify when exposed to ultraviolet light.

### Claim 19 (depends on 18)

The kit of claim 18, further comprising:
a container housing the base object, the resin container, and the one or more additional objects.

### Claim 20 (depends on 17)

The kit of claim 17, wherein the model object corresponds to one or more categories of models and wherein the one or more categories of models comprise one or more of: food or beverage items, plants, rooms, geographic formations, scenes, structures, or buildings.
