3D Map of Roshar

Over the last six months or so I've been working on a creating a physical 3D model of the continent of Roshar. It's still a work in progress, but I have some actual physical products to show for it as of recently. My end goal is to make the entire map out of wood and project animations like Highstorms onto it.

So far, I've made a prototype map out of foam using a CNC router.

And I have used a projector with it to project the map of Roshar onto the foam:

The reason I post this is I would like some feedback. Eventually I want to do something with this similar to the interactive timeline of Roshar the staff put together, but in three dimensions. Like I mentioned, I would also like to add the Highstorms to the animation, so you can see how they interact with the geography and mountains of the map.

Is there anything else I should add? Change? Improve? I have a time limit, but I'm curious to see what people think.

Finally, here's the 3D digital model I used for this in case anyone wants it for a project of their own. Feel free to use it, though it is fairly rough, so the geography isn't exactly perfect and the topography is complete guesswork.

Well, It has been a bit, but I have finished! (I actually finished it two months ago, but I moved countries so I've been a little distracted)

And, the paint job (it's just white):

And here's the final animation and videos of it running (hey, look, highstorms have a perfectly straight back edge. Who would have thought?)
