Making Explosions & Smoke Markers

This week, I’m taking a break from building up my Normandy armies to have a go at building a variety of explosion and smoke markers for my battlefields. It will also give me a chance to use a cheap portable airbrush that I picked up, wish me luck😂

Brilliant, food for thought, thanks

They came out really well. I made some clump foam for hedges which turned out a disaster. I will look at using them for explosions instead. I also had to laugh as I also bought a cheap airbrush to spray yellow on some terrain. The airbrush seems good to use on terrain and undercoating vehicles but will use my Badger for more detail work.

Cheers Dan, yes they’re a great way to use up any clump foam your not happy with. I’d had that so called berry clump foam kicking around for ages and I could never bring myself to use it on terrain pieces. The cheap airbrush did its job for now, but I wouldn’t want to bet on it lasting long😂. Thanks for watching😉

I actually made some of these. And then I made some more that I pop ontop of vehicles that are destroyed to give them a bit more of a firey-death look. It works even more if you can remove the turret and just put the tea light where the turret goes!

Good idea, I was thinking of doing something similar because I don’t much like the fire markers you get in the kits. I’m also thinking of making some sea explosions. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment.😉

Those look amazing! I want to make something like this for 40k. Thanks for showing us how it's done.

Cheers mate, hope it helps, thanks for watching and the feedback😉

Great video. I've been thinking about getting one of those cheap airbrushes for weathering scenery etc..,how well do you think it worked.,.... have you got a link for the product

[@TheGreatMim]

Thanks mate, to be fair the cheap airbrush did do a nice job, but how long it lasts remains to be seen. I’ve had something similar in the past and it died within the hour. I got it replaced and the replacement lasted about a month. I thought it would be good for this project, so I bought the cheapest one I could find. I wouldn’t want to recommend it though, given my past experience, but then you get what you pay for I guess😉 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/386592147275?var=653942135908
