Hi Rick, arg Mrs Slocomb, a distant relative of Matron I believe. Very funny series.Just beautiful JR, Yes......seeing you efforts of the other day brought to mind Mrs. Slocomb from the old sitcom "Are you Being Served"? She was the master of odd hair back then, Now it seems to be the "norm"......go figure! Cheers, Rick H.

Love the updated smoke effect. That really has turned out beautifully. And as you say good to still be able to see a bit of the flame through it too.
Great work.

John...you had to show your pyrotechnic skills with fibre did you...it worked and looks great.Evening all .
Following some pm's between myself and Dude1 aka Allen nearly Retired of Bamburg
A joint effort has resulted in this .

Took some time to find out how much of the web was required, very little , and much less than you would think .
Teasing it out was fun, as you soon ended with single threads stuck to hands , jumper and even on my glasses !
Applying the pigment by a largish flat brush was soon given up when I found that rubbing the web in pigment that was on the paper gave a better coverage. It was only when doing the black and grey towards the end of the trail that it was just scattered on.
Once done I gave it a spray of Hair Spray , mainly just to keep the pigment in place .
Pleased that there is a little red showing through from the paint on the two part glue holding the wire on .We decided that although the photos that I found showed very little black smoke at the onset of the launch some would look better .
The base foam board has been glued in place , so while the model sits well out of the way the stone sets can be imprinted.
Going to show part of a steel factory roof support left after a direct hit, so only a small section of brickwork and maybe a lone window frame with the remains of the glass .
Hopefully tomorrow after another trip to the recycling center with yet more discarded garden and shed finds I can carry on with the base .
Thanks for looking in .

JR,
Well done with sorting out the smoke problem with assistance from Youngerthanme, now looking forward to the finished item.
Hip hop along the way....
Thanks Paul, it came out better than I could of hoped.Latest smoke & fire looks perfect. Great work.
Thanks. I agree,even one of these off cuts can stick in the end of your finger RichardOoh!...Stepping on...stepping on broken glass...Eurythmics. There's one thing I am uncomfortable with is broken glass...when cleaning up shards from the floor expecting some piercing my feet as we don't wear footwear in the house.
Nicely shattered John.
Cheers,
Richard
