I am starting a diorama of the T-34 in thw Winter. It will be T-34 in the center of a gravel road with some infantry. First of all: Wich Tamiya paint colour (Preferably not mixed) shold I use so it matchs a winter scheme. Second, How could I do things like make breath? Next, how could I make snow (Not alot but a faint amount, and not freshly fallem) and a gravel road? Than I would like to know how to make some good frosty looking trees. And finaly, how could I weather or rust the T-34?
Thank you everyone, I will pot some pics once the dio is finished. I will gladly accept any tips.

try Tamiya dark green as a basecoat......it doesnt matter so much with Russian green because it varied,also since it will be oversprayed or whitewashed with white paint for your winter scheme.

I oversprayed a winter scheme KV-2 with Pactra dirty white,then I used alchol to rub off the white in some area's to expose the basecoat.

I've built a Stug in Grey with winter camo, you can look at how I did the finish on this page, just click on models, amror, and StugIII

Obiviously you would use Russian green instead, but the point is that you can use any white color if you mist in thin layers at a time to control the look that you want. Hope this is helpful.
