- great service from Photobucket !

As I was saying the cladding to the volcano was finished on Thursday night

Followed by a quick 30 minutes in the shed mixing filler (with a dash of black acrylic paint) for a good coat over the bare area on my mountain.

I have left a space...but I wonder what for...

How are you going to make it smoke?

....With a packet of twenty and a lighter

Seriously I haven't given this much thought yet...open to ideas

How about just teasing out some cotton wool.....

...fair enough, this is tiny in comparison, but the idea should work the same.

Looks fab already

Curious to see how you will do the lava flow… colored silicone or water effects?

Oh, and that cotton could work nicely, for fire part just add one of those flickering fire type of electric candles?

Sorry to disappoint but no lava flow, for the purposes of this build it will have a lava pool in the crater but no eruption.

I need to make sure this becomes a playable piece post build...

hopefully more tomorrow...been freezing in Brighton all day...

I would suggest you looking up where to get a hold of some dry ice still.

Eric the Shed · « **Reply #68 on:** February 07, 2015, 08:13:24 PM »

no dry ice...

smoke and flames definitely

Hi folks only a small amount of progress today as I am still waiting on the filler to dry...

spent my time working on my tramp steamer (posted update of this on workbench & blog) and figuring out how I am going to deliver the pyrotechnics on this build.

I can however report that this is the heaviest build I have ever tackled - at the moment this monstrosity is weighing in at nearly 25lbs !!

More to come later in the week...

Wow. That's heavy! Looking forward to progress pics.

No updates for a while. Has it tipped over pinning its creator to the ground?

Eric the Shed · « **Reply #72 on:** February 14, 2015, 03:31:48 PM »

Nope back in the groove...

Started on the summit this morning...

a quick test on lighting option - abandoned

then of course had to filler it in...

more filling required..

add temple of fire entrance..

complete surround...

more soon..

Duke Donald · « **Reply #73 on:** February 14, 2015, 05:40:41 PM »

I like the temple at the bottom.

I'm looking forward to seeing how you'll be doing the lava and lighting; at least you won't have a problem due to lack of space; you could cram in 1,000 LEDs in this crater!

Mount Doom is coming along nicely.
