The tank will be displayed in a clear case. All I want is take the black base of the case and texture it with earth covered with snow. I want track prints in the snow, perhaps footprints of the crew that will be standing around the tank. I have set of 5 Soviet winter tankers from MiniArt. They stand upright in relaxed poses and are meant to stand on the ground around the tank.
If you have a link to a simple tutorial article describing tools, supplies and techniques please post.
P.S. If you're curious about the model all it's sporting now is flat black preshading followed by overspray of Russian armor green to fill in the panels. No washes or drybrushing yet so it looks kind of plain.
