Large Explosions

After posting some of the stunning images of the fortified Space Wolf fortress I'm going to borrow some more. This time to make a brief tutorial. Below is some pictures that show how to make explosions... because blowing shyt up is fun.

Aly Morrison created these large explosions. He started by attaching dowel to a base [like these] and covering it in wire mesh.

Aly then began to glue clump foliage (a scenery product readily available from most model shops) to the wire mesh.

As well as adding clump foliage to the explosion, Aly also embedded mangled Tyranids (and assorted body parts).

Here you can see a completed explosion, ready for painting and basing.

You can see the painted and based explosions in the pictures above. I've added in the bold to help identify some of the necessary materials. And here is a similar tutorial on how to make smoke by Da Boss from Da Green Skins.
