making snow

Welcome to the Forums. I think that you will get a lot more help with your problem if you post it in the Armor or Techniques Forums. There are a lot of great guys, and gals, over there that can help you. Good Luck.

Hi,

Agree with Jim, but my don't use flour, baking soda, sugar or other common kitchen items because they're edible for insects/bugs. Glass micro balloons would be my recommendation - snow white, looks like snow and non-edible. Expensive if you need a lot though. I'm not an armor builder so take my advice with a grain of salt (but don't use salt for a snow substitute).

PS A big welcome to the forum.

Thanks  I used glue, water and baby powder but have to find a way to tone down the snow on the model.

Hobby Lobby sells a product called Snow Tex which is like a modeling paste with a snow texture to it.  Its not available in big quantities tho.  But it still might be worth trying for using on tank wheels/tracks.

I have used the Deluxe Putty in the tube mixed with a "mud" colored paint to achieve packed up mud in the bogeys.
