Thanks for taking in interest in the Amon Sul piece. You are correct that it is constructed from Hirst Art blocks. I share your concern that it is priced high, but if you have worked with Hirst molds you know it takes considerable time to cast the pieces, assemble them and paint them. In addition, I pay a royalty to Hirst Arts for each one sold and added costs such as time to photograph, post the release, submit it to news sites, etc. make the investment for a piece like this considerable for a single person operation such as TerranScapes. Also consider that the TerranScapes piece comes to you ready to play and finished to a very high standard when judging its value.
As an alternative perspective, to build it yourself would require two Hirst molds costing $68 plus shipping, and that cost does not include plaster, vibrating table, hardboard base, flock, foliage, adhesives, etc.
Community feedback such as this is really helpful and important to TerranScapes. Please continue to provide information and opinions on releases. Of course, suggestions for other releases are also always welcome and can be submitted directly through TerranScapes contact page.
Thanks.
