hi all.
i ame building a small snow diorama. wich i put snow on a while agoe. but regretfuly it looked more like an exploded drug lab rather than a diorama i use techstar snow flakes, wich are very well for snow. but i cant get it nicely on my base. iv add some pictures of my base so far.

has anyone an idea of how to get started with my snow again?

I’m getting a Red X for the image.
I assume this is the one.


I’m not sure what look your trying to go for but it looks decent to me. My only advice would be to possibly try adding a little more.

hi,
thats the image indeed :-)

i have the base so far, it does nead some more work. but i wanted to create a snowy surface to it. like after a heave snowfall. i have no idea how to glua the snow to my base. later i will add a mortar with possible crew and some more extra's

thnxz

Hi Johan, I dont think you stick a heavy fall of snow,as i understand it you pile the stuff on then spray it with either hairspray, or artists adhesive the stuff that comes in a aerosol this should hold it in place.

hey,
thanks guys il try your ideas.
pics of progress will be added to this forum later.

Looks like a good start. You might want to look up images of snow on the web to give some reference, should help.

Hoi Johan

Have a look at this snow SBS on Historicus Forma. It may be of help to you with regards to the techniques used there...

For covering a large area I've had good luck with Woodland Scenics Snow. For areas that require finer detail such as tops of tree branches, small areas on road wheels, boots, clothing I've had good results with Andrea Artificial Snow. I use the Adrea sparingly as approximately 30cc= $10 USD. Woodland Scenics 820cc= $9.50 USD.

use a matte gel and a soft,damp brush to get your snow drifts,etc and then spinkle microballoons over that..blow off or minivacuum the remaining "snow".. it will almost make you want to jump in your "snow" and make a snow angel!

Hi John,
I use Plaster of Paris, you kinda have to work somewhat fast with it. But the result is great! I also use it for my hills or mountains etc. Im new to this forum so I'll update some of mine later thanks, and good luck.
