Subject: Does any model company make plastic flames?

As title.
Does any model company, bits company, etc. make model fire, specifically I'm looking for streaks of flames. I would make them myself out of GS but for what I want to do I need a lot of flames and I don't want to use up all my GS.
Thanks.

Reaper has some translucent flames in its Bones range:

You can even drill a hole in the bottom and insert an LED. With a wash and a bit of subtle highlighting looks not too bad:

Hmmm, they're a bit stumpy. I need more of a flaming trail like in Back to the Future or Ghost Rider.
Still, if I can't find anything else I could cut up and reposition those flames.
Thanks anyway.

Can you find them on a toy model of similar size and just cut them off and reuse as needed? Might be an easier option. Although a bit pricier.

Do you know of any toy models that have flaming trails on them?

Nope, but I'm sure a Google search would give you some results.

Maybe you can sculpt them out of acrylic medium. First cut some plastic to shape and cover it in the medium. The medium can be mixed with red tones, so you could build a translucent flame effect up.

Zealot Miniatures just posted some stuff on Facebook about "effects" etc. Worth a look.
