I painted it on, used a couple of coats of mop and glo and sprayed with gloss varnish...I can't take credit for the lighting lol I think that was just a happy accident :)

Lol, I was wondering if you had put LEDs under it.  But yeah, the lighting makes it glow.

It's not who you kill, but how they die!
You can't shoot what you can't see.
You can not dodge it if you don't know it's coming.

Pretty sure infantry melt . . . and probably BA, even the fire resistant types.

Thank you :)

You are correct about the foam. I use insulation foam. I put some sand on it for texture. The paint is Apple Barrel craft paint. I put a couple of layers of mop n glo on the lava areas before I sprayed it all with gloss varnish to give it a little shine.
