Editor's Note: For heaven's sake, if you try this - do it outside, with safety glasses, and away from thingsthat will burn! It's not something we recommend for those without adult supervision For my battle damaged areas, I found that gunpowder works great. I would cut open fire-crackers and build up piles where I wanted blast marks or lines for phaser marks. Touch a match to it and !POOF! you have a burn mark that radiats in all directions. This also burns the hull a tiny bit and it looks like real damage has been done. The go back and drybrush with a little flat black then silver and it looks really good. I used this on both my Oberth and Excelsior in the reader gallery. WARNING: when you touch a match to the gunpowder, look away as it is quite bright. Also, for safety reasons, try to use long matches like those used to light fire places. |
