I appreciate the tutorial and will probably use it at some point. I must say though that the end result made me chuckle! It looks as though the flash gun has just had a catastrophic failure and gone up in a puff of smoke...

:) Catastrophic failures are much more... catastrophic than that...
The best/worst I ever had, a lot of years ago, was when the guy I was working with fitted a hairlight above/behind the poor model, complete with a tight honeycomb and forgot to turn off the modelling lamp. It was just a couple of feet or so behind her when it went bang, there was of course thick black smoke, which the smoke detectors picked up, the smoke detectors set off the fire alarm, which was linked to the fire station and it all got very exciting.

The poor model couldn't stop shaking and we couldn't finish the shoot.
 
Did it go bang because he left the modelling lamp on??

Yes, you can't do that with a tight honeycomb fitted. The fact that the head had a fan whirring around inside made no difference, the heat build up is immense.
