"genuine gypsum heirloom mantelpiece display replica"

3D printing is only going to get cheaper and more accessible - I think pretty soon that "heirloom" is going to look like a dollar-store trinket.

Still, aside from the hyperbole this is a pretty neat idea, and New Zealand certainly has some landscapes worth this treatment too (including fjords, even). Australia has some impressive cliff forms that would work; seems like thousands of areas worldwide.

Heh, it says "removing trolls" when generating the preview (after clicking get it printed)

I walked Besseggen last summer [1] and the model [2] for that looks pretty accurate with the huge drop on both sides down to two different waters.
