Flame-Thrower marker

Flame Thrower Marker

Now whilst messing about with the shell burst markers, I also decided to try and make a flame-thrower marker too.

First I wound the pillow stuffing around a straightened paperclip with the help of PVA glue

Then sprayed black

Once dry, I attached it to a base made from air-drying clay and a penny and added more stuffing as the flame splash

Once dry and painted it with yellow and red as per the shell bursts

Again I`m happy with the finished effect

    Nice one! Like the way you've captured the arc of the flame.
    Cheers, Richard P
