Hay all! just like to know what you think of this frozen ground?i have tryed to make it look like the snow is starting to melt so its going to be early spring setting.






many thanks

It looks cold - so i guess its fine

If you are going to put a tank on it, the tracks should be visible behind it allso, unless its been standing there for long time.

Hi Karl. The snow effect is excellent. The tree is perfect. The texture is perfect and the transparency of the snow, letting whats underneath show through is perfect .... but that where the problem lays.
Theres nothing underneath to show through. For a muddy area it would be great, but it makes the tree look really out of place, as theres no other vegetation. Not even stones or previous signs of life.
Sorry for being nit-picky, but the snow effect is really well done, it seems unjust to not use it to its full advantage.
How did you make the snow?

Hy Karl! I agree with Frank but would go further to say that if the ground snow is in the act of melting, then wouldn't the tree have already lost its' snow cover by this time? Better than average chance I'm wrong, as being an Aussie I haven't seen snow lately... :-)

Great job there Karl.

Just a suggestion though...here in NZ, when its early spring and the ice starts to melt, snow tends to look a little dirtier having been on the ground that much longer. Perhaps if you tried adding some brown patches to simulate dirt? Areas where tracks / vehicles have gone over will definitely be dirty from the tires.

BTW, is that pigment powder you used for snow?

Thanks for all your advice guys.
I made the snow from andrea snow mix with white glue and water,then brushed on with a brush.
i am adding some small bushes and a fallen log to give it a bit more life.
many thanks for the feed back
ill add some new pictures in a bit as it does look better now.

Karl, you could also have some other vegetation like tress blooming or flowers growing, even grass under that snow. at some places you could perhaps add a thicker layers of snow.

When I get ready to go to work in the morning I always find that the snow and frost on the sunrise side has melted. Perhaps you may want to consider that effect when you install the vehicle. Snow on one side of the tree melting.

Using clear resin would do this job perfectly i reckon. Great suggestion.

add some early grasses to the base.
