How do i make fake smoke come out from a model car?

Question

Hey I am doing a project about car pollution and want to make fake smoke come out my model car which is 1:18 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII, with out damaging my model car. If you can tell me how to make fake smoke come out a model car, I will choose you as my BEST answer.

Answer 1

Get some cotton wool, spray it greyish black, make it into the shape you want and stick it on.

Answer 2

you can purchase little tablets or liquid to go in the car, these tablets would usually be used in model trains.... Head off to a hobbie or model store

Answer 3

model rail roaders have added smoke units to thier layouts for years. i did a quick search at walthers and came up with several emitters. these could be added underneath a display base and piped to your exhaust system quiet easily.

Answer 4

Both suggestions would work (you'd probably need a heat source for the smoke tablets, though). Another possibility: get some dry ice. Cut off a little bit (without touching it -- it will burn your fingers) and put it in some water in a countainer in your car. The water will bubble and emit copious quantities of "smoke." What's more, there will be real CO2 in it . . .

Edit -- Dry ice is easy enough to handle, just have them put it in a box or something and to avoid burns don't touch it with your bare hands -- use tongs or if you must handle it more directly use something to insulate your hands, such as gloves -- it won't keep the cold out for very long but it should be long enough to shave some off or whatever you have to do.
