Next I roll a small ball of green stuff and let it dry. Once it is dry I will cut off the top and the bottom of the sphere. These are going to be the bubbles inside of the lava. Now if you cut the sphere short you will have a small "just rising" bubble. If you leave much of the sphere (say half) then you will get a bubble thats about ready to burst. These two are about medium and roughly the same size. You can experiment with this making all different bubble sizes. I then glue the two half spheres onto the bottom of the base. I also paint the rock a dark grey at this point. I will latter drybrush it in a lighter grey.

can also be used for swamp bases with waterbubbles. Very inspireing ( try blowing with a small strah into the bubble to make it higher ) ...also nice reflection on the rocks !
