A step-by-step guide on how to sculpt miniature scale model candles, suitable for 28mm-32mm games such as Warhammer 40k and Age of Sigmar, though this technique can also be applied to anything from miniatures, dioramas or your D&D dungeons.

It’s quite a long video but I go really in-depth, covering each stage as well as showing a few options for making different style flames. The main components you’ll are need some plastic rod, copper wire, PVA glue and baby powder. Super glue and plastic glue are also helpful along with a variety of hobby tools.
