When I got the first Nick Fury figure, from Marvel Legends, he had a place in his mouth for a cigar but alas one was not included, so I made one. Just cut down a Qtip, shape it with sand paper and paint it the way u like, works for me...just adding my 2 cents here.
That looks bad! I think if you do the burn and then douse it and use the burnt look for effect it's fine. One should just be sure since a lot of you get people or people not aware of the dangers of fumes and burning plastic.
I don't suggest it either, I just thought it was kind cool. I made one but used a dowel, toilet tissue, coated it in glue. Once it was dry I painted on the ember/ash look.
Although cool, and I'm not trying to rain on the paraid. This looks incredabuly toxic. Health wise. With the burning of the paint and glue. But, inganuative all the same.
