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 lava block or smoldering ember 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.
