Smoke ‘Em if You Got ‘Em

More dropped weapons today.  This time it’s the smokescreens first previewed here.  First up, a distant shot to show what they look like from a distance, and then a close up view of the texture.

These are scraps of soft, but stiff, packing foam used to cushion computer accessories.  I simply shaved them into the desired shape, hot glued them onto the appropriately sized counters, and then drybrushed the tops with  black paint.  My little cotton ball experiment failed in that cotton balls are too soft and fibrous – they start to peel away from the base before you even get them on the table.  These puffy nuisances hold their shape much better than cotton, and they don’t blow around in gentle breezes.  

On the down side, they take up the most space of all the accessories in the One Box To Rule Them All.  So that means any additional cars I squeeze into the box won’t have smokescreens or discharges.

Next Up:  Game On!
