Heres my first proper attempt at using expanding foam for explosions.

This is the HMS hood seconds after her thin deck was penertrated by a shell from the German battleship Bismarck, in 1/350

I'm quite happy with how it turned out although a part of me wanted to do the whole thing in black and white - trying to paint explosions isn't much fun!

Cheers,
