Have an idea....Buuuuuuuuutttttttt (1 Viewer)

I need help!!!

Okay so I've had this idea for a while, ever since king & country announced a couple of years ago that they were bringing out a mickey mouse camo CWT truck! As most of you know I am fascinated with operation market garden, and there is an original phot of a lloyd carrier just as it is blowing up going along hell's highway during operation market garden:



I would like to use the king and country model of the Morris truck to recreate this image....BUTTTTTTT I have no clue how to create an explosion type scene. I imagine I'd have to use different coloured of reds, oranges, yellows, for fire and white/black and grays for smoke!

But not sure what the best thing to use for it would be, can anyone help me please? I thought that maybe something with a square bottom which would fit inside of the back of the truck. Thought maybe I could make it seem like things were flying out from the back of the truck, like a few barrels and bits of debris and nets flying off to the backs and sides?

Any ideas or help would be much appreciated! Thanks

Scott

Hi, I have used cotton balls and Polly fill as the bulk of the smoke. You just spray it with black, then a lite coat of dark grey, then a very touch of a medium grey.

For the fragments use some wire painted black and on the ends paint them to look like the photo. You might even use some cotton tipped swabs as part of the explosions near the center mass.

I hope this helped.
