To everyone expecting someone actually using glue to make fire, pour gasoline into Styrofoam, it generates a similar effect.

**slann**

These will make awesome destroyed markers for tanks and such

**V0ldem0r7**

Another method is taking a blowtorch to Styrofoam. That method is very difficult, as you have to apply just enough heat to make it fizz.

**Death Gear**

Nice

**fat patty**

Wow, that's a great idea!

** Orcko Boy **

i thought this was going to be awful, but no! its great idea and i will use this method with my fire, its cool!

Hello Dakka!!! Playing my V-card on the posting, but just dropping a quick line.

I was inspired from this post, and plan on posting pictures of my newly destroyed tank after I finish a rough paint job..... In case anyone was curious how it looked on a model.

**Myrkks**

I was going for a destroyed immolator, imagine the internal tanks blowing and spewing liquid fire, engulfing the inside and pouring out the blown out door. not sure how well you can see it, but there is an arm reaching out the door

not to hijack the thread, but any C&C on the fire and the front of the tank is appreciated (ignore the paint, its all a wip)

That is some Old Tank body there lol I have not seen that style of Chassis since I stared 40K back in '94 XD. I hated those Rhinos and Tanks of the similar Design. I always had trouble keeping then seamless I always wound up with Gaps... it made me mad XD I might just make my old Angles Tank destroyed like this since it is falling apart and old XD

Great Tutorial, and I do not see why everyone needs a painting pictures of this. I mean yea it would be nice, but just look for a "Painting Fire" Tut XD I think that would be just fine.

**BAN**

hmm i may use this to make some flaming skulls

**=I= White-Wolf**

These would be truly epic to put on an objective pyrimid thing, wiht daemons all over it!!!

**vleermie**

So simple.. Yet so effective =D

**rdlb**

The new white dwarf with the Legion of the Damned painting instructions would be helpful for painting these

**sckum555**

I could put on the ends of flamers

edit: fix

**Blitza da warboy**

The tank looks more as if it were possesed imo, but i can also see it as fire. Definetely will think of this.

**DarkAngelsRK**

Cooooooool (in a low voice). Might just use this sometime....

Squirt a little 'hard as nails' or 'no more nails' into the rough size of flame your aiming at. Tease at the glue to make points using the sharp end of a craft knife. Make sure your points are going roughly 'upwards'.

These are some I made earlier.

As soon as I work out how to colour them like flame, I'll update this!

Good idea

**SweetLou**

i find that it works alot better after leaving the glue for a while, at least with hard as nails

**kravus master of Horus**

Really nice idea, have to say I never thought of making fire like that.
Was it an accident or did you figure it out from another website?

**Blind**

Have to try adding some fire to the ends of my flamers!
Painting fire is an art of its own imo

**Gorechild**

That looks awesome!
Great idea

**Sephiroth Mini's**

Very hard to paint

**SweetLou**

**jamunition**

How old is this thread...
People keep bringing it back from the dead...

**The Bringer**

Does two months count as threadcromancy?

In b4 lock....

**Frazzled**

Its hairline threadromancy but we'll let it go.

**cormz**

I'm going to give my librarian an open hand with flames in it.

**40k Ninja**

The flames look very cool. This was very helpful. Thanks
