Too close for comfort

#1 Post by grymm-one »

A small vignette of Bandai's New Order Stormtrooper. The base was knocked together from an old Star wars play set (Naboo). First time trying to light an explosion. fairly happy with the outcome.

Wow!
That is really cool, and has been mentioned, fun.
I think that is a very good job on the explosion.

Very cool and a great idea for the blast. Are you using a mini LED bulb behind it to light up the fibers or is that a paint job?

Thanks Joe. The light is a super bright 5mm Led. I made a basic shape out of clear silicone then fluffed it out with cotton wool
