Having a Blast!

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'.
