For my games of Missile Threat, I thought I'd make some bomb blasts, they are not needed to play the game.
It would just look cool!
I decided to make two different types,
-Single bomb blast
-Multiple bomb blasts
NEEDED!
So, you will need. . .
-3/4 washers
-Aluminium wire
-Sand/texturing
-Clump foliage
-Glue gun
-Super glue
-Vallejo Paint (not essential, but gives you idea of colours I used)
Firstly . . .
To start with, Glue some paper to one side of the washer to covour the hole. When dry, cut a piece of aluminium wire (around an inch long) and glue into the hole onto the paper and pack out area around it with the sand/texturing.
And then . . .
Using the glue gun, covour the aluminium rods with clump foliage. Once covoured I give the clump foliage a good dose of super glue, this helps bond it all together and makes it more durable.
The multi-bomb blasts were done pretty much the same, except I mounted 4 stems on to a wooden base.
WARNING! When putting the super glue on the clump foliage, I strongly recommend wearing gloves and do it in a well ventilated area.
Any base area that is not covoured in clump foliage, just glue some sand/texturing on.
Then undercoat.
And Finally . . .
I paint the whole thing in 'Heavy Ochre' then give the ground area a wash of Agrax Earthshade (Games Workshop).
The whole thing gets a drybrush of 'Dark Sand'.
The Dust plumes then get a Drybrush of 'Pale Sand'.
