Interesting idea I have heard of foam but didn't know it could be purchased in cans as the only stuff like that I had seen was that cavity wall insulation foam which is probably more lethal than agent orange used in Vietnam will definitely investigate as a possible method

I keep eye balling the 1/48 Planet models resin JU-388 in my stash ,open the box look at it,sigh mornfully and put it back. Just ca'nt get my nerve up to pull the trigger on it .

My impossible build although I'm going to give at go when I've done some research is to show a Saturn V launch I've no idea how to model the exhaust gasses plumes or the water bowsers on the pad and the resulting steam clouds
I have the model and the launch tower is currently under construction just need a interface between the two ie the rocket about halfway up the tower rising on 5 F1 Rocketdyne motors I want to put some dynamic into this build not just have it static on the pad

I have seen good results with teased out cotton wool, painted/dyed in various colours so yellows at the hottest parts to pale greys further out. Even LEDs in the centre to give the brightness.

Yep that's one of the ideas I've been kicking around the material is light lends itself to being manipulated should be easily colourable using paints/dyes for the immediate stress plumes directly from the engines something like a clear plastic bottle neck suitably painted will need 5 of them then attach the cotton wool cloud to the 5 exhaust plumes that's the theory will need a bloody good paint job to pull it off convincingly
