-Supplies Needed-
Household aluminum foil
Sculpey Oven Bake Clay
An official Heroscape one-space Glacier or a small screw driver
A conventional or toaster oven for baking
A cookie tray
A paint brush
"Regency Blue" acrylic paint
A can of "White" interior/exterior spray paint-Tutorial-
Start off by building a simple Hex design to compare the size of your model to as you work. By removing the official one-space Glacier and replacing it with your model from time to time, you can help ensure that your finished product will be able to fit on the battlefield correctly.

Mold your aluminum foil into the shape of an official one-space Glacier.

Mold a thin layer of Sculpey over the entire aluminum model.

Flip the official one-space glacier upside down, place it against the side of the model, and roll the two together as you press them in. This should create a nice pattern across the model.

or, if you don't have the official Ice Glacier, you could use a small screwdriver to create a similar pattern. Place the flat end of the screw driver on the model near the top and drag down creating small crevices along the sides.
Stand the model up on your baking sheet and place it in the oven.

Bake according to the directions.
Paint the model with the "Regency Blue" paint, similar to "Light Blue". Make all of your brush strokes starting from the bottom and working to the top on all sides. Leave plenty of unpainted surfaces as your brush naturally skips over them.
Spray paint the model from a birds eye view (facing down). This will help simulate a snow fall pattern.
Your finished product can now be placed on the battlefield and used as a one-space Glacier or a C3G Ice Rock Destructible Object (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=37015).

Is this going to be released in the World War Winter set along with the Ice Rocks design and the Frost Giants? Even those of us who have Tundra sets may want to make more Ice Rocks to use with the Frost Giants we have if the Ice Rocks are part of the map we are using.

I think that's his intent, but we'll see whether there's time to get it done or not.

Cool. I look forward to seeing that done. I'm hoping to get some of the sculpey putty to make some of my own to go with my Frost Giants.

[IAmBatman]

Looks nice! :-)

Sculpey Oven Bake Clay is going on my Christmas list now! :D

I really should have been more careful to avoid finger prints. :( Oh well, you learn from your mistakes. In the future, I will be using rubber gloves.

Moved the pics to a more appropriate folder.

Adjusted pics by resizing, sharpening, & adjusting the colour.
