Flames
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, September 12, 2003 2:16 PM
I am making a 1/25 Revell Monogram Dodge Viper for my dad. And I thought it would be nice to put flames on the car [ as if it is goning so fast it is starting to burn up (like a comet or what not)]. And I was just wondering about flaming techniques. Thank you all in advance.Big Smile [:D]Big Smile [:D]

Here is a site that is actually for customizing Hot Wheels cars, but it has some good tips that can be "translated" to 1/24 scale modeling - especially the "flames" technique you were asking about:

Hobby Lobby has flame sticker stencils. I used them on an AMT 1:25 `57 Vette. I placed them where I wanted them, painted the body color, let it dry, then removed the sticker stencils and hand painted the flames. Turned out okay. I think the sticker stencils are from Model Master.

J-Man,

Here's directions to a website that has several very nice "Flame" 1/24 decal sheets you may find useful?

Go to: http://www.slotcarworld.com/

In the Menu index on the left side, look for: "DECALS ALL SCALES"..... on that link, check out numbers "98" thru "102".

You'll be sure to find something you like in there, and if not, they have a PILE of other great stuff! Wink [;)]

Good luck, and also, think about posting a couple pictures of this project, as it sounds very interesting!

Take care,
Frank
