EDIT: Kinda similar to your plastic eggs, but with the connecting tendrils well of the ground.

I thought this question would come up. I should have made it clear to start with. Thanks for asking.

Yes, that would be fine as long as the terrain base/foundation uses on no more than 7 hexes. I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

I keep getting ideas but have yet to flesh any of them out.

The brainstorming phase can be a fun, yet frustrating part of the design process. Write down or sketch down all of your ideas. You may find that helps you in the fleshing out part. Sometimes once I sketch it out I see that my ambitions for a particular design exceed my skills or materials on hand. Other times I find that combining a couple of different concepts gives something even better than what I had originally thought up.

Anyhow, I hope you are able to find a design you really like that you can put yourself into.

I'm going on a 2 hour plane ride so I might be doing some sketching then!

The rules didn't answer this so what is the ruling regarding other pieces. Say figures, etc? Can we include figures or whole figure in the design? What about other materials? Outside of the no prebuilt pieces are there any restrictions to materials used?

Nope, other than pre-cast structures there are no restrictions on what materials you can use. Just remember to make sure that the other materials don't overshadow the assigned materials.

I have not yet come up with an idea that has really excited me. A few thoughts for stuff that could work but not really pumped up for any of them. Hopefully I'll get inspired for something cool to make before it is too late to get it made in time.

There's no restriction on themes right? And I can make the 7 hexes part of the design as well correct?

Pretty much if the OP doesn't restrict it or prohibit it, you can go for it. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
