Making a campfire look real

Greetings everyone,
This is how I go about making a campfire. first you need a orange L.E.D. sunk in between a few rocks.
Next you need a small piece of clear plastic glued  in next to the L.E. D. A little white glue on the plastic and cotton stuck to the glue. Theres your campfire.

Finished campfire with plastic and cotton


plastic glued next to the L.E.D. with white glue on it

    This is so... I can't explain, really... sometimes I get shocked on how these advanced modelling features are done in such a simple way!

    Love this blog. Cheers from Portugal,

    Hugo

    Just starting to play with flickering LEDs from cheap Christmas decorations. I strip them down and put them into buildings - looks great!
