03

Choose your colours

Your terrain, your palette

Up to four terrain colours, then the base — body colour, contour lines and engraving text are all yours to pick. Pieces with water get a third land shade, so the terrain still reads right to the shoreline.

Puzzle or solid

Built to be taken apart

Puzzle pieces come apart and rebuild — the version people end up fiddling with on their desk. Solid is one fixed model, cleaner and better for travelling. Same terrain, same price.

Add your engraving

The bit that makes it personal

The base carries the place name, its coordinates, engraved contour lines, a date or a short message. All of it, or none of it — some people want the coordinates and nothing else.

Behind the pieces

A photo of a mountain never quite does it. You can't feel a ridge in a photo.

Every piece is somebody's place, printed from real elevation data in my garage in Melbourne. I'm the one who creates the custom orders, who prints it and who packs it.

Before you order

The things people ask first

What if my place is flat?

Send me the location before you order and I'll tell you honestly how it'll look. I'd rather talk you out of something than have you open the box and feel let down.

Will a long route look as dramatic as a single mountain?

Not quite — it covers twenty times the ground, so the terrain is naturally shallower. I push the elevation to its maximum on long routes to keep the ridgelines readable.

How long until it arrives?

Everything is made to order, so nothing sits in a box waiting. Allow up to 15 business days once we've confirmed your design, plus postage.
