    Afternoon all,

    Has anyone ever done a diorama/vignette with fire fighting effects? I'm trying to do a crashed Bristol Blenheim with one engine on fire and fire fighters battling it. I've got the flames done and I think they look pretty good, but I'm struggling with two items.
    1-how to model the water/foam being sprayed from the hose over the engine and wing. I've thought about using minimal expanding spray foam insulation or silicone caulk, but haven't done proof of concepts yet.
    2-finding good 1/72 RAF fire fighters. I've looked at model railroad scale fire fighters but they all seem to be civilian and not really well done. Also I've gone cross eyed looking at Shapeways to see if anyone has uploaded anything of use.

    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Mike
