Here is a very effective method for modeling the flames from a flame thrower. It looks easy too.

What a great help this will be! I saw it done more than thirty years ago and have never been able to replicate it myself.

Excellent article Don

nice and simple and from easy to find items perfect, it looks like it would also suit rocket plumes.

Keith - you're dead on I have a MaK. kit that has a backback type rocket system and I've been contemplating using this method. The only twist would be to switch the colors and end with white.

Scot,..
mate this is really cool, simple!!,for ages I've wanted to sculpt a 120mm figure, but with the flame active, and I can see by teasing the cotton wool carefully you could show it engulfing some thing...

thats cool cobber..Phil..
