Over the last week I have been playing a couple of WW2 games which called for the use of smoke. Normally I just put down clumps or a handful of toy stuffing. This approach works well for the most part, but can get fiddly when putting down a set length.

Anyway, I decided to see if the smoke (stuffing) could be strung together into a set length using a needle and thread. Here is a quick one and a half minute video on the creation.

Looks good!
ReplyDeleteThanks, quick to do and quick to deploy and remove.
DeleteReaslitic and splendid smoke, thumbs up!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteImpressive. What is the cloth you're using on the table?
ReplyDeleteThe cloth is made from a drop sheet from the hardware store and dyed with paint washes. Thanks.
DeleteGreat idea and the stuffing looks much better than either cotton wool or the thinner polyester stuff.
ReplyDeleteI was quite pleased on the way it turned out.
DeleteVery effective. I use cotton wool balls purely because they are so easy to store!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Ease of use always plays a part too.
DeleteVery nicely done Peter. It looks great
ReplyDeleteThanks Ben, and surprisingly easy to make.
DeleteA cracking little tutorial for a delightfully simple idea I often have trouble arranging smokescreens from clumps - I shall have to try these - thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt is certainly quick and easy to pull together.
