Volcano Encounter Placard Start

So with out much Ado:

Stacked Styrofoam with hot glue to hold it together for the side of the volcano. Choice of realistic looking or game encounter playable, had to go with playable so its Layered rather than sloped. Bottom picture has some raised blocks added to sculpt so it breaks up the stair step effect some, caves added of course, maybe do a lava flow out of the bottom one.. to lead to the lava field!  Shaping, tried to use a lighter.. switched to a soldering iron that for the most part never touched anything, though the occasional whiff of smoke, had to air the place out some. More tommorow Im sure.
