So I had an idea about trying to make an explosion but had no idea how to do it…. So googled it and the best I could find was the plane Photo below..….it said to use stuffing from a soft toy then use red and yellow lights to look like fire ..bit of spray paint…easy… I bought a soft toy , but it didn’t have the sort of stuffing in the photo …it was cotton wool… So I decided to use that…. Didn’t have any spray paint either… So I rubbed the cotton wool in black paint , and made a sort of cage out of wire , put the yellowish lights down the bottom and the red lights up the top, and filled it with cotton wool until it looked sort of right… I thought this is going to look shit… and in full light it did… So I decided to dull the light a bit, and it looked a lot better…. And basically that was it….
This one a bit dark , but fire looks good ..

Oh-oh! Fire on board is bad enough on a ship, but when the battleship is built of wood, it's even more dangerous.
Great pre-photoshop special effect.

He sacrificed his life for the art……I think he would like to be remembered that way…

I guess I didn`t ask that very well , I meant the lights you used inside the cotton wool explosion cloud .
