i'm trying to achieve a cool flame pattern on my rocket. What I did was purchase some Frisket film, sketch the flames and then cut the flame pattern out carefully with an exacto knife. Not an easy task. Can anyone offer some good advice when trying to mask flames onto a BT

A quote from Ed Miller's article "MARBLIZER PAINT — PART 2" in Sport Rocketry, 2006-09:

Welcome back. In part 1 of this article, which appeared in the July/August issue, I showed you how I applied the basecoats, marblizer, and candy coats to the Public Enemy Rockets Fat Boy model. This time we will apply the pearl flames and clear coat to the rocket. There are many styles of flames to choose from. If you need ideas, refer to a book called “How to Paint Flames” by Bruce Caldwell, available from MotorBooks (www.motorbooks.com ).

Specifically, How To Paint Flames.

This other title looks like more of an overview of the flame motif: how it evolved, profiles of some of the best painters, illustrations of different flame types, painters' thoughts on techniques, etc. Up in Flames: The Art of Flame Painting by Tim Phelps.
