Recently I've been playing around with bringing a bit of the 'fog of war' to my displays. Cotton wool has been used a lot, and after initially not being keen of the idea, I gave it a go and it won me over. Making the smoke spout naturally from the barrels of muskets was essential, but how?
Well, I think I've cracked it! Using delicate wire as a support (the wire fasteners from sandwich bags) and a bit of double sided tape. I'm sure this approach won't be everyone's cup of tea, and I'd love to hear what people think, or even better, if you give it a go, please post a picture! As I said above, it has won me over and really adds a punch of realism and dynamics in my opinion. I'm sure it can be improved upon too.

The real thing.

I've made a little video tutorial for anyone interested in giving it a go. It's hardly professional, but might come in handy. Hopefully. I would love to make more tutorials as I explore the hobby. Early days...
Cheers!
