Geo-Hex ? Their name pretty much sums up what you're looking for ...

Far as I know, KR's excellent material is all finished, so if it's DIY
you
want, you have to look elsewhere.

I know there was an outfit that did smaller raw hexes, maybe 4-6"
across,
but it was bead-foam, and nothing I'd suggest. They did have nice DIY
trees, as I recall.

I think, if you're intent on doing the work, you might as well get slabs
of
insulation from home building stores, layout hexes on it, and
slice/split
with very fresh, long razor knives. (I've found you can do surprising
well
on thinner sheets using a fully-extended 'break off' bladed knives with
a
sawing motion. GREAT CARE AND A STABLY LOCKING KNIFE REQUIRED!)

Not terrically difficult, but Geo-Hex's quality is hard to match.

On the side, has anyone tried decorative sprayon snow on terrain?
