The original terrain piece is great but this is even more incredible - I am surprised that it can be moulded all in one, given the amount of detail and the 360 degree orientation of indentations, crevices etcetera. 10/10 for the article!

Great article! Thanks so much for taking the time to write it. Seems like this technique would be great for replicating some modular walls or bits of terrain that could be quickly put together to form a new custom whole... really enjoyed the article.

You are right they look almost exactly the same! :yay:
