Bard the bowman remains calm atop the burning tower, and readies his bow.
The smoke and fire are made of cotton. I chose a wind direction and made sure to tease out the cotton to match.
I gave thought to how the smoke would be pulled around the building, find it's way out of the ladder's hatch and through a hole in the railing.

The string of his bow is a very thin wire that I added myself. Because I just can't help myself from adding tiny details.

Another Mithril Miniatures display piece.
The tower is scratchbuilt from card with some added miscasts of my own, plus some cotton wool smoke.
And inside is a LED tea light "candle" that gives the fire some flicker.

Again, I stuck close to the colour scheme from Mithril Miniatures.

The windows around the tower are painted with an orange glow from within.

Another #MithrilMiniatures mini' on a scratchbuilt display.
I used a wire to add a string to the bow.
This also includes an LED candle inside the burning tower to give the fire some glow (see the last picture) and flickering.
