    Is that 3d printed or laser cut? The honeycomb blocks are sharply detailed.

    Yes Jeff, flagstone bases.
    I lasered this, I don't know how to do Shapeways so I make it happen with a laser as best as I can. Shown is the Z scale but I also did one in N scale. My phone camera didn't quite get the flagstone detail here, bad angle.

    I think you have opened a new medium for Z scale laser work, I believe stone front buildings and even brick store fronts are now possible. certainly a wizard with that material. Getting the laser to etch only so deep to get that relief is fantastic work.
