sculpting fire

[roboBOT]

What is the best way to sculpt fire using green stuff? I\'m trying to make some flames on a pyre, about 20-30mm tall and 20mm diameter. Right now, I have a cone of GS as a base for the flame, but I don\'t know how to put in the detail. Any suggestions?

The Games Workshop site did on article on sculpting fire a while back that you might find useful:

Just ignore the part about painting the fire, where they put the darker colors in the deepest parts and the lightest colors on the high points. Well, don\'t ignore it; just do the reverse.

If you wanna try and make translucent fire, you could try scenic water or even PVA (If not too tall) mixed with a yellows/reds (Don\'t bother to mix them that much - the swirling effect makes it look more realistic...

Mind you - the water effects is expensive!!
