Does look good - snow looks much more 'in scale' :thumb2:

Thanks Gerry, I agree many thanks for your continuing support.

The ground conditions seem to fit perfectly with the colour round the bottom of the vehicle :thumb2:

Cheers Mark, I do try and get them to match by using the same colour or pigments where possible.

Paul, as a lover of all things wintery, the new snow looks so much better, I love it on the pole and signs. Spot on.

It’s good Scottie, but personally I preferred the earlier base. It’s simplicity focused attention on the build. With this one the waggon obscures the gun and the downward slope of the prime mover looks a little awkward. I think the snow looks OK though,

I agree with Tim but the snow flakes do look large like dessicated coconut but could be like that if churned up...well what do I know about snow. :smiling6: Is the product like that straight from the bottle?

Cheers,
Richard

Dan, I finally got there after a couple of attempts, glad you like it.

Richard,
The fault I think was all mine the flakes are large ish but I think it was due to my impatience so the individual flakes stuck to each other and not to the ground. They were from the bottle but put through a sieve. The next time it should be better.

Scottie, if the ground is frozen and hard meaning its really cold, the snow would be powdery like and would be blown around like dust...seen it on National Geographic reels of the artic or scenes of the lake dash to Leningrad.
I'm sure you'll get it right next try.

Cheers,
Richard

Andy,
Your to kind mate thank you.

[scottie3158]

You will be pleased to know this is definitely the last pictures. I really do need to practice my figures but in my defence they were not the best detailed and really struggled to try and work out the mouldings on the faces. But following the 20 meter rule here it is.













cheers
Scottie

Thank you for the compliment Paul. :flushed:
Adding snow is not as easy as it looks, scale being one important factor. As you know I use Precision Ice and Snow, now unless you plan to do several if not more snow scenes its not cheap. Doing several layers with hair spray or mount spray in between and doing it at an angle to represent driven snow is one method.
Your addition of the baking powder has certainly brought it into scale and the amount you have used looks good. Achieving a natural look as you have done, so top marks.
