What's your go to method for making lava ground effects folks? I'm always looking to learn, so let me know below!

@power_SERG 2 года назад

I tend to usually go out to the nearest active volcano and extract lava for my bases, but this seems much easier to do and faster, gonna give it a try.

@MattAfoster 2 года назад

I've gone for a red then orange then yellow base then added texture paint that cracks to reveal the lava underneath! Then a drybrush of black/grey for the soot

@mikkohernborg5291 2 года назад

I wrote a longer separate comment, but in short: bottom hottest, so start with white, then yellow, then drybrush orange, then drybrush red. Top off with mix of black and metallic to give the lustrous look of newly solidified volcanic rock-glass on the very top where it is coolest.

Recently I painted some lava cracks on a terrain base. I painted the cracks white, then red, and followed with heavy washes of orange and yellow. In hindsight, I should have swapped my workflow to yellow, then orange, and red last. I was thinning the paint with only water and the adhesion would have helped the orange and red cling to the edges. A base coat of bright red orange with a dry-brushing of black over the top to represent bits of crust forming on the surface also looks great.

Great to see some 'Lets make' tutorial again. How good to see you back in the studio, Mel. Hope you're keeping well.

I am mate, thank you!

Glad to see you back at it mel!

@mikkohernborg5291 2 года назад

These look good Mel, I just have one point of advice: Lava is hottest at the bottom and cooler at the surface, since it comes from below and is cooled by air and radiating heat. This means it is darker at the top and lighter deeper down. So start with the lightest (yellow), then drybrush the orange and red on top (or wet blend). To give it a finishing touch, I use a mix of black and metallic to very lightly drybrush over, which gives it the kind of lustrous sheen that newly solidified volcanic rock/glass has. It’s a minor change to the process, and still nowhere near a diorama painter’s skill, but it’s worth it. To go beyond you'd have to take into account light reflections and glow, and that’s where we are talking of potentially spending hours on each piece - which is overkill.

@TheTerrainTutor 2 года назад

Gonna have to have a play with my techniques mate

@mikkohernborg5291 2 года назад

@@TheTerrainTutor Awesome! I think one can do the dark-to-light scheme if using inks or washes, since the pooling will reverse the distribution of colours, so there are a number of ways to vary these techniques and processes and customise the results to one’s personal style. I will see if I can root out some of my lava-base minis and post pictures to the Facebook group of how I have handled them.

The world burns! Pavements and streets melt! Everybody is sweating like hell.... Mel: "Let's make some vulcano". That's the definition of a madman! A MAD MAN! ;) Cheers mate.

Funny that init, I should be ready to do snow terrain in a few months .....

@mooglesmodelrailways 2 года назад

I'm liking this series. Learning something new and am looking forward to the volcano episode. Trouble is, it's got my mind working overtime on how I'd fit a volcano spewing lava, a lava River and fissures into a model railway! 🤔

Thank you so much instead of using this for a volcano diorama is used it for a Antarctica diorama and used blue water instead of lava and a snowy texture for snow thanks.

@matrix626 2 года назад

I am NOT mature enough to watch this video.. Love the builds, need to make some myself for a diorama. Glad you are back, my friend.

@Halkomahooli 2 года назад

Excellent video once again Mel! Small note: there's some fizzing in the audio between 1:00 and 3:15 marks with the table cam and also some afterwards, also some deeper cracking sounds which are not audible when you talk but the fizzing is audible even when you talk.

@TheTerrainTutor 2 года назад

That was backup audio from the desk cam mate, guessing that's what it was

Another video of good ideas. Where do you store it all? My brain cells struggle with each new fact. :)

@TheTerrainTutor 2 года назад

It's all kinda ingrained in my brain now buddy

@gojirageek 2 года назад

So I'm guessing the fancy end piece is going to be the main volcanic crater? If so I'm looking forward to it I've been meaning to build a volcano for a few years to act as a display/diorama for my godzilla figure to recreate the end scene from the 1984 film. (that concept is actually what started me on the terrain building overall first looking at diorama building then found out ttrpg terrain is more durable and easier to make)

@TheTerrainTutor 2 года назад

Well spotted!
