That's amazing, Lee. Really astonishing
I've sometimes seen great simulated explosions, with fire and smoke in static tank dioramas. I think I even posted a brilliant one (none of my doing
) sometime ago of a '....I love the smell of napalm in the mornin'..'' setting. It was a couple of years back. I'll track it down later. Meantime, your cotton-smoke would look great as the start up exhaust from a Sherman or Tiger
There's a Cromwell vid I posted a while ago, and it was burning a lot of oil (at nearly 80 years old, it can be forgiven for that.). Again, when 'resting' or taking a break as a Shelf Queen, your smoke would give an aged Cromwell model a massive hint of authenticity

That's a great idea for when the tanks are on the shelf Roy , I may give that a try when I finally get my Cromwell finished
Cheers, Lee.

Sorry Lee, you may not thank me for this, I know why your figure looks like he needs a good meal. Sorry.

Not to go too far off the tracks, here's the Diorama I once posted, Lee. If you had a spare Sideboard, it would be a good place to keep a 'resting' static tank:
- Vietnam Diorama by Man Cave..

Those effects look great Roy, it's amazing what can be achieved with a little imagination, a muzzle flash on a displayed tank could be simulated in much the same way I suppose, A small led could be placed within the floss to illuminate it to represent the burst of flame from the barrel
Cheers, Lee.
