here we go my last two models for your constructive criticism and pointers

Is the M-41 a Tamiya or Academy kit?

very nice,

the dusty finish on the aav is very realistic, could do with some more weathering to the running gear and lower hull though,

the M41 looks good, the snow looks very natural, did you sieve it on or something?

cheers

As a snow belter (:-) , I'm going to comment on the M41.
Snow fall provides a very flat, even coat in a small space like a vehicle, and, unless driven, does not tend to adhere to verticle surfaces. Therefore, all upper surfaces should be evenly coated. Wheels should have snow on the inner lower quadrants of the indents and on the upper surfaces of the tiires. If the vehicle has not been running, there should be no snow on the inner hull, behind the wheels. If the snow got there, you should have a relatively even coat on that (windward) side of the vehicle and little or none on the other (leeward) side.

Second, if the tank has been running, the snow would have melted off the heated surfaces such as the engine deck and most assurtedly off the mufflers. Friction will melt any snow along the rubber of the tires and the surfaces where they make contact. The teeth of the drivewheels should, likewise, be free of snow.

Cool guys, thanks for the comments, I guess I don't suck as bad as I thought,
To Cav, the M-41 is a tamiya one
To Brit, I just sprayed hairspray and dumped flour all over it, then shook it, and then just threw more at it.
And For Fleche, Thanks for the awesome pointers, Inever thought of it until you said something, and your deff. right. I really think that building with snow evvects makes a model look pretty neat and more real.
Thanks for all the comments so far guys keep them coming!!!
