Thanks!

I did get a bit more work done to the chimneys but I'm not finished painting them. I tried to set up a board though and I think it looks OK.




Here's a photo with Jesus and some cowboys from Hell for scale

I like the red hue to everything. I'm going to try and find some yellow rocks to act as sulfur too. And obviously the board needs a big central volcano piece.

Something like this would be cool also:

I think you can get coloured glue sticks for hot glue guns, some with glitter too.
I've seen things (trees? aliens?) made using hot glue on a wire armature, maybe that might be another option?

The small tealight fake candles are often in UK pound shops in the autumn (firstly amongst the cheap halloween decorations and then later amongst cheap Christmas ones). I think last time we got them (for a school performance of Beowulf!) they were about 5 or 6 for £1.

randomly flickering LEDs can be bought from Zinge
they can be used as "throwies" (just taped to a button cell battery). more on that here.

I've been wanting to buy some for a while to create flame markers with the Flames of War smoke and flames set, but keep putting it off . 

[Dr. The Viking]

I'm not convinced about the lights yet. I want to add smoke to the volcano and I'm thinking that it would obscure the lights.

The board looks excellent.

Thank you my friend!

I'm busy painting up more stuff for the table as I write... or well.. not simultaneously as such but you know..

That is sterling work.
That board certainly does look fantastic!

Thanks even though I'm not quite done yet.

In fact in this very moment I'm listening to:





And watching these dry so I can get some more work done to them:

Ennio Morricone is perfect musical accompaniment to modelling, not so sure about Metallica

Fantastic looking!

Ihave no use for a lava board,  I probably never will have, but I want one now! Grr


...and unlike malamute. I'm happy about the metallica.

Cheers

That is INSPIRING! I'm getting all sorts of ideas for my Spooky Woods Project from your WONDERFUL board. The little volcanoes are really cool.

Having moved to the Gold Buckle of the Bible Belt that is Texas, I LOVE Jesus & the Cowboys from Hell...maybe you could use Drop Kick Me, Jesus, Through The Goal Posts of Life as painting music.

Boooo!

Drop Kick Me, Jesus, Through The Goal Posts of Life

 

Please tell me that you made that up!

[Centaur_Seducer]

Please tell me that you made that up!

"You're the reason our kids are ugly" then?

[DeafNala]

Please tell me that you made that up!

Nope...while it's a spoof (I think), there really is a song by that title.
First verse:

Drop kick me, Jesus, through the Goal Posts of Life.
Don't kick me to the left or the right.
Kick me straight through the up rights.
Drop kick me, Jesus through the Goal Posts of Life.

Imus in the morning featured it as part of his Right Reverend Billy Sol Hargas's First Church of the Gooey Death & Discount House of Worship from Del Rio, Texas: Gold Buckle on the Bible Belt.
