FIRE & SMOKE markers magnetized tutorial

[Antabires]

Ok so i decided to hire some elves and make some fire and smoke markers.

1- I grabbed some COTTOM and submerged it in a mix of 50% water and 50% GLUE (not super glue!)
2- Once it dries it gets hard, optimal for painting.
3- Smoke markers I painted with 50% black and 50% water mix all over the marker. Then with grey simply make a drybrush over all the marker.
4-Fire marker goes with 50% red and 50% water, then with 100% yellow all over the marker. Finally a dry brush with red or black.
5- Add a small magnet 3mm in the portion of the marker with super glue that you can attach to the gimball mount that we all use

Then voila, an easy to attach detach marker. Hope you like it






The magnet

Good idea using magnets, they look really good.

Just a great idea Miguel which has led me onto one of my own. With all the spare pegs we now have at our disposal, just glue your smoke and flame marker onto a dedicated peg and save all the added weight dragging down the back of the plane.
