That racing Mercedes is the awesomest thing I've ever seen. The flames look awesome, but I can't tell how they did it from the photo. Got any hints for us?

it was kinda hard to tell how they did it, but it was REALLY cool in person it was called "a rough nite at lemans" and it was dirty(looked like it was) the way the track and the diarama was, it really looked like it was going fast. the same guy made the indy car crashing into the wall...and that was just insane, won first for best diarama and some other award...it was really cool in person

I agree. Definately one of the best models around. It looks like he took a snapshot of the Le Mans. The flames look excellent. I swear if that thing didnt have the hobby shop background I would have mistaken it for the real thing.

Well, I guess I think I know how he achieved that effect, but it's only a guess :rolleyes:: probably added cotton or a piece of melted to shape sprue and an LED to the exhaust...(??)
