There u go... today’s work... the windows were placed and corrected (gaps were filled) also the propaganda writings (since my picture was in black and white l decided to go as the North Koreans do with red and white) added dead leaves on the ground and i did a light white airbrush to simulate where the snow will go.... and finally the s’ow on the roof..[ATTACH]319453[/ATTACH][ATTACH]319454[/ATTACH][ATTACH]319455[/ATTACH]

Hi Greg,
looks good what are you using for the snow?

[BigGreg]

Hey Paul... :-) thank you.. i'm using Polyfilla plaster the white one... it's easy to place and you just need water to work it.. BUUUT it dries very fast...

Greg.
Loving it, though its making me feel cold just looking.
Tell us more about the snow method please.
John.

[BigGreg]

Hey John Thank you for your kind comment.. well the technique is really easy:
1. take a generous amount of plaster on a ice cream stick put it gently on the ground that you have previously sprayed with water
2. apply it gently with a brush (number 5) that has been wet with water, all over make sure to leave good thickness where snow will fall and remove where the snow will not logically be
3. spray water to make sure that the "snow" fill flow as per gravity...
4. Wait that it dries... i would say about 2/3 hours....
5. clean excess
6. Repeat process adding little by little

There you go I hope it helps... i will put the next step with the snow powder

Thanks Greg.
I've always fancied doing a winter scene but the bewildering amounts of snow technics is daunting to say the least.
It will be interesting to see the results of this method, have you tried it before ?

You are very welcome John ... :-)
I tried with the Vallejo snow.. but i didn't like the texture.... too much grains in it... snow it's flat and soft...so i wanted to give that feeling... so i found only the white plaster to have that special texture...
