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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. The kit of claim 11 , wherein the model object corresponds to one or more categories of models.
16. 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.
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.
18. The kit of claim 17 , wherein the resin is configured to solidify when exposed to ultraviolet light.
