Nice! This is XPS foam, right? What is your process for trying to carve hex shapes into that formation? Are you just eyeballing it?

I place the hexes on top of the foam and trace around them so I know where to cut it to match the shape, I'm working on a new piece so I'll upload some progress pictures to show how I do it
Also I use floral foam blocks because they're easier to cut into the shapes I want
 
Good stuff. Tutorials are always nice to have. Really like how the hexes are shaped right into the rocks for easy figure placement.
 
Wow, you have really nailed the aesthetic. That's the best rock texture/colour I have ever seen! The vegetation is also quite perfect.
 
That is really good! I've thought about making a large display like that with a dozen or more spots for bases, and then figures with batching bases to slot in. Just never got enough motivation to tackle the project. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah I've been thinking about making a larger set to display an entire faction of characters
You could always start with something small that fits a single character to get some experience with it
 
First- this terrain is excellent, and has definitely given me ideas on terrain I hope to make once I have my workshop set up again. Great work, rep incoming.

Second- you may already know this, but in case you don't (or anybody else wants to recreate your work) I suggest you be very careful with this material. Floral foam is fairly hazardous and is generally considered a bad material for terrain crafting. I wouldn't use floral foam for crafting without a respirator and gloves, and even then I'd still likely avoid it. I would recommend something like XPS foam, which is affordable and isn't particularly hazardous unless you're using a hot wire cutter or something.
