Glowing wellspring

[Jim]

H_E_H, for a nice Glacier light, go to your nearest bar that serves fancy drinks, and order the one that comes with a light-up plastic freezable ice cube. Those work great for something like this!

Looked into it.....

Yes the lava tiles can also be iluminated. Actually just enough for the effect needed.However,suspending them together in long single hex paths seems to be the best course so far.Since they dont come in sections like the glaciers. I just put a base level and leave 1 hex space wide trenches in the direction I want to put the lights and cover over the top till I get to the spot I want.

** The lava does look awsome with the lights below it,going to have to get a pic of that as well.**

Build your map on a glass tabletop then place a good "up light" on the floor beneath it.

just a thought

Hi, I was wondering...has anyone ever tried using those outdoor street lamp type things that you can get for dollhouses? It would be very interesting to see a bridge withtwo2 lamps on each side...

Kind of like this...

Ooooooooooo.

and again...

Ooooooooooooooooooo.

That looks great. I want to add in lights but still fiddling around finding a power source that doesn't go dim after a couple of hours. We tend to do all afternoon & evening HS/BBQ/pool/Beer/ fests. Man, that would look cool in the evening when it grows dark. Maybe a solar powered one with a flickering bulb like the tiki torches. Gotta find it small enough and not too hot.

I have a few things I wanted to show you all,but my camera is being a lil' bit unreasonable. Hot lava death! LOL I also read in another thread on how someone wanted to illuminate water,or make the water shiny.Something like Hahma did with the wellspring,but i'm thinking more like a mirror type or something along those lines? I did come up with one thing that somewhat worked o.k. I went to the craft store and bought some Folk Art Metallic Blue Pearl paint.After a few coats on the water tile,I was amazed. It left it sparkly and in a slight angle from the light,it looked glassy,or almost illuminated. An overhead view showed the blue color,but it still pales in comparison to Hahma's glowing wellspring.I guess there is nothing like the real thing? As soon as I get the lava pics,I'll load them up in custom terrain under hot lava..

Edit* Lava pix under hot lava*

And at $2.99 for 10(with about 15 inches of cord),it's a steal! I'm very happy with them.
