Repaints & Minor Mods Smoke Trails

[Torque]

I'm trying to make effective/realistic smoke trails for missles and the like for dioramas. Here's what I've come up with so far. Any suggestions or other ways of doing it?





( i realize starscream has null rays but hes the only one handy with missles.)

[dak]

if the figure was ONLY going to be used for a diorama and never used for collection basis, you could drill a small hole through the bottom of the missile and glue the wire into it. and then you could add some flame to the bottom of the missile too!

Very cool idea! looks great!

I can't offer any helpful tips, BUT ... that kicks ass!

Looks good so far. Like dak said just hiding the wire and adding some flames would really make it pop.

[protoform_ironhide]

I think this looks good enough

you might want to try adding some dark and lighter grey shades through out the smoke to give depth via airbrush and flames (Reds yellow orange) at missle tail.

that looks awesome, flames would look cool too! or a stream of little bullets like a bullet web.....HMMmmmmmm!

Hiding the wire won't be an issue this was just a test but the flames I can't quite figure out.

I don't have an airbrush however I find dry brushing kind of works

I was thinking about a way to get good tracer fire. It be pretty if I can find a way

Now that is really clever and effective! It looks great already and I can't wait to see what one of your finished dioramas will look like.
