First of all, thanks for Tom Servo's tutorial over at S7 on how to use the glue gun for the blast effect.

I cut up pieces of an orange CD case, and found a Marvel Legends Human Torch on clearance for $5.00 and cut off all of the fire effects.

First I cut a little notch in the orange strip, so it will fit into the tiny square slot of the "blaster" in Grimlock's Dino-mode mouth.

Then, I covered the strip in glue (not super hot, but hot enough to be molded). I kept a glass of cold water nearby so once I got it the way I wanted it, I put it in the water to cool the glue into place.

After that, I painted it with some watered-down yellow and red to match the effects of the Human Torch fire effects.

Then, I glued the Torch effects in various places. I'm letting it sit now, hopefully later tonight I'll post the finished pics with MP Grimlock.

 

That will fit nicely !

 

Updated with pics of flame effect with MP Grimlock (custom MP Grimlock courtesy of frenzy_rumble).

I may still do some minor tinkering here and there, but for the most part it's done.

 

That is so freaking cool!!!! Can you show us how it will look like with the other Grimlock as well. You know. The other one.  

 

nice work payton. I was tempted to make those also for that particular Grimlock as well as the set of 5. You seem to have the technique down for sure.

 

Thanks guys. Now all he needs is a crown.    

 

Looks awesome!

 

wow that looks great

That is freakin awesome! How hard is making the flames??

 

Not hard at all. Just keep a glass of cold water nearby, put the glue on there as you like it and immediately dip it in the water. It solidifies practically instantly.

 

Very nice. I wonder how it would look with a thin layer of opaque orange paint...

 

you should make a set of fire that conect to grimlocks teeth in dino mode so it looks like the energy building up and coming out from the gaps in his teath
