Thanks!

Kevin, thanks and well done for sharing your first attempt at the hair spray technique, especially as you say that you felt some trepidation about attempting it at all! Having spent the time building the kit and then applying the base colour, it is always tempting just to play safe for fear of ending up with something that you don't like.

I must say I think you have been somewhat daring as well to use dark grey as the base colour, although I am not necessarily saying that it is wrong... You have included some nice touches and details however.

This would be very nicely complemented by some figures, maybe some ground work?

Kevin:

Excellent and a beautiful job done, particularly for your first time of doing a snow scheme!

One thing I might suggest is muddying up the treads and wheels more than they are. Perhaps some careful brushing on the wheels, treads and inside the outer frame walls of some very thinned out Quikrete solution would give the entire area a well traveled and weathered look once the Quikrete solution dries.

Cheers!
