Making snow
Posted by senior65 on Saturday, December 22, 2012 10:24 PM

Whats the best way to make snow to cover a tank for a winter scene and make it seem natural.  I used glue, water and babby powder but it doesn't look natural enough.  I am thinking of a light white overspray?  Ideas Thanks

Hi Senior, If you are looking to simulate snow fall, this video might help you - 

However If you're looking to do a white wash effect you can find many tutorials on the internet such as - http://www.bigscalemodels.com/tips/tipsfiles/white-wash.html .. Hope I could help you :)

I used fake snow from the hobby store, the kind for scale landscapes.  Put on a coat of Future, heavier where I wanted it to stick heavier.  Just sprinkled the snow on the model and then sealed it with another coat of Future.

I've used salt layered down with PVA glue. A good alternative is games workshop snow it's like a very fine static grass and really looks like powdered snow.
