Great looking game (tempting me again...)! And a wonderful report too.

How do you dye the cotton wool to different shades?

 

Cheers, Ralf

Thanks,

I put the cotton wool in a plastic bag with some yellow food dye mixed with water for the gas and swish it around a bit. The explosions are spray painted a variety of earthy and grey colours
