In both cases I used cushion filling teased out and painted with diluted black and grey acrylic paint. Often very early coal burners even had some sparks and flame issuing from the stacks when first fired up, but that is further than I would go.
I love pre-dreadnaughts! Where do the miniatures come from? Are the main turrets fixed, or can they be moved? How long is that miniature?

Thanks for the missing bit of information, Rob. I was eyeing up cotton balls, but figured that acrylic paint would make them too dense. Plastic fluff is the perfect solution.
