Glacier Block

The only difference between the Fire Block and the Ice Block are both the same. The difference is in the color of paints used.

This is a small ice block or piece of a glacier for use in RPGs, war gaming, or miniature gaming. This is a very easy construction. If you have some craft paints and a hot glue gun than the cost will basically be free.

What You Will Need

Things you will need:

hot glue gun

craft paint/paint brush

scissors

paper egg carton

mod podge (optional)

Cut the Carton

I used the huge 3 dozen eggs container just cut off a piece. Just use a piece that you think will do the trick big or small.

Use some hot glue to seal up the seams on the bottom. Also drag the glue around a bit to add some texture.
