Okay, so just a quick how to for anyone who could find it useful, making a 1/6 scale cigarette. To make one, all you will need is a few cotton buds (I used Johnson ones as they are solid all the way through) with the cotton wool ends cut off, and some felt tip pens. I used a brown, yellow, orange, grey and black. First off chop down the cotton bud to smaller sizes,
First off I used the brown the create the tip,
On the other end, I used the yellow as a base coat for the burning end.
Next up orange, but added in blobs, leaving some yellow showing through.
The final stage was adding grey and black in the same way I applied the orange, to create a burning effect.
The final product.

Thanks for posting this how to make 1/6 scale cigarettes. Remember smoking is really bad for you and your figures but mostly for you. I’m really liking the hand model showing the finished cigarette .

Nice work Dal I especially like the glowing embers! I didn't even think to use cotton bud sticks. I rolled paper in glue and got messy, after printing the filter on paint.

The ones in the ashtray remind me of my old mum, and her 20 Rothman's ! Very realistic . The lads here smoke roll ups, which are just rolled up bits of copy paper with a wipe of glue to hold it together, I then just light the end for a moment and blow it out, seems to look the part.. I was astonished to see 1/6 cigarettes on ebay really stupidity expensive !

Thanks guys!
I'm with Porky, these prices for one sixth cigarettes are absurd. The little ashtray I got with a folding chair. I think I may use it in the garden of the Owl and Adder, when I get that finished.
