Back to the drawing board, I’ve had 2 days off work so began marking out the teeth of the foam mats onto the polystyrene sheets.

Results total failure, I tried the hot wire first ended up with the edges beveled and gaps to wide, next attempt was with the hot knife edges were much better but still to big a gap when joined.

So back to the drawing board, I was hoping to use the polystyrene to give a little extra thickness and hopefully  a little more rigidity to the tiles and also to cut in rivers to give them a depth.

As is I might try using the hot knife the carve out a channel at least a few mms deep and try that, as for the polystyrene that’ll be used to provide hills at least for my 6mm.
