Hi guys,

I just have a simple question to ask you. I'm currently building a snow diorama with Woodland Scenics snow. I use a mix of the snow, Future and white paint. Now I apply this and it looks good but it's very matt. Doesn't look really like snow. I want it to shine like real snow. I like the snow in Jaume Ortiz Forns book "Modelling Fallschirmjager Figures". Can anyone help me? What should I do to make the snow shine?

Here's a picture of my diorama to give you an idea of how it looks like.



Thanks in advance,
Daniel

Daniel, I use woodland snow as is and it still looks good today. I paint the base gloss white and glue on snow when dry. I don't paint it at all. Only problem I have had is dust.
