This is great. The algorithm actually worked in showing me this. I'm in the planning stage of an Adult Red Dragon's Lair Diorama/Scatter Terrain and have been rewatching some older Lava Tile, Volcano crafting vids. This will be the method of choice now. Thanks.
do you think the colored glue sticks would work for other liquid terrain pieces? for example could the green glue stick work for a liquid sewer element?
I built a really big lava board last year and I used hot glue but I use clear glue and then put different colored inks over the top. It took quite a bit of time to get the coloration right and even some of it didn't look all that great and I really wish I had had this technique back then as it would have saved me a ton of time. I will have to try this in the future.
This is pretty awesome man! But have have you tried more elevated terrain like actual mountainous volcanos? I think the flow effect will look even better!
I would add some dry brushed black on some ( just a bit) to shown some of the cooling lava as it hardens... Just a thought.. Looks great though, give me an idea for the next set I make...
If you have the time and money, pls experiment more using hot glue to make liquid like rivers and sewers. Can you melt a stick direcly with that torch?
It's definitely something I would like to experiment with more. You definitely can melt a stick with a torch, though you have to be careful not to light it on fire or it will blacken and release chemicals in the air.
I think maybe it needs a little bit of the black crusty Earth to simulate the hardening rock that usually floats on lava. Maybe that would be enough to finish this off and make it look really incredible.
Dude, that's badass, probably the best lava terrain I've ever seen.
Thanks, dude! I had a blast creating that lava terrain.

This is freaking aMAZing. The effort to results ratio is out of control with this method! Brilliant!
Thanks! Yes I agree, really is a fun build as well.
The very slight translucency of the glue works really nicely with the combined colors!
Thanks! I was very happy with the look of the slight translucency as well.
I have been needing a lava river for Stargrave for a while, this seems like a decent solution.
That's awesome to hear! I'm glad you found the solution helpful.
Great tecnique! It looks amazing and its fairly cheap.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job. They look amazing
Thank you!

I think that's a good idea. Especially if you were going for a thicker look and wanting to avoid using epoxy.
This is SUPER USEFULL THANK YOU!
Thank you for your kind words, I appreciate it!

It's definitely worth a try. It saved me a lot of time in the end.
Brilliant idea. Looks really good. I haven’t seen these colour glue sticks at stores in years.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you liked the idea. I had a hard time finding them in store and had to get them online.
Looks great!
Thanks!

Yes, I have done that and it looks really good.
Nice work!
Thanks a lot! Glad to hear from you.

Good idea
Haven't finished vid but I'm guessing hot glue with a tea light in the center?
I was wrong and I think yours looked better than how I imagined the tea light would go
Thank you! It was a great guess regardless.
That’s amazing!!
Thanks so much!

Try a hair dryer or heat gun, it will probably be slower but will not as easily charged the glue stick.
Looks cool.
Thank you!
looks cool
Thanks!
Sweet
Love the mustache
Thanks! It's been fun.
badass
Thank you

Make lava terrain without a drop of paint!!!
Step 1. Paint the bases orange.
No need to paint the bases.
Meh... kinda looks like you melted american cheese over the piece and covered it in ketchup... :/
Thanks for the view and taking the time to comment! Every bit of engagement helps. 😊

You eat too much fast food lol.
@@ZachC-130 you don't need to eat fast food to know what american cheese and ketchup looks like bro 🤣
