Great build. I really like the way the snow sits on the wheels.

Thanks for sharing

The model looks great, I agree with the previous post about the snow. How was it done?

Wow that's really nice. The snow compressed in the wheel was the thing that grabbed me the most too. Beautiful job.

Thank you for the kind words. The snow packed in the tracks is made from a mix of baking and Future then randomly dusted with MIG's Europe Dust pigment. The dry packed snow in the road wheels is baking soda sprinkled over a coat of Future, when dry the excess is lightly brushed off.

Best wishes

Bill

The Zimmerit is Tamiya Polyester putty applied with the Royal Model tool.

Bill,

I don't think anyone has expressed this about your build. It's f---ing awesome! perfect in every way! The weathering is perfectly random. How is that done? Thanks for sharing your snow technique. Looks totally real.
