Urban Chaos

Good evening gentleman, and happy new year to you.

This isn't truly a figure project, but I am posting it because it does/will include virtually scatchbuilt figs. but also OSL lighting methods that I have picked up from fantasy fig. modellers. Maybe the painting of the fire will be of interest too? All the buildings were scratched- cast in plaster and then carved, scribed etc.

David ,

That is great work , love the burning vehicle how on earth did you achieve that level of realism?

Thanks for sharing

This is very interesting, love that fire effect, the glow is very well done. Have you used putty for it and the smoke?

Thanks Gents. The technical is a Meng product that I built from the box. I then sculpted the fire and smoke plume over a chunk of insulation foam that I glued to the bonnet with Aves apoxie sculpt. I did a google search for 'burning vehicles' and used the pictures I got to paint the fire. I've also been looking at Cool Mini or not and Massive Voodoo blog for guidance on OSL lighting methods. Most of the dioramas I've seen that depict fire use LED light displays- sometimes effective. I thought I'd try the paint and sculpt approach however.
