I'm pretty sure it couldn't be the space station because since a couple of days ago i have been going out every night to watch it and it moves quite quickly and it isn't red.
well i could be wrong too, but on mine it looks like the plastic is part of the main "body" of the wheel and there are no gaps so that leads me to believe it can't be moved
you can use the advice i gave about the pen tool for Photoshop in Gimp. to save you looking again i basicaly said learn the pen tool, then trace flames to get a feel for drawing them, then make your own. It isn't that hard it just takes some practice
if it is the realistic flames your after you could try a set of photoshop brushes just google them. Here is a set i found they're not the best but they shoud work
and if it is the hot rod style flames then get a tutorial on how to use the pen tool and trace some flames off of pictures to get a feel for how to draw them then just make your own.
all of this depends on weather or not you have Photoshop though
