Karl, a nice toot. I have yet to use my woodland sciences snow, I still need to replace the baking soda on my old Tiger II kit. But I really want to do some snow dio's and am going to have to keep this one on file.
And just one suggestion.
Deep breath and count to 10.

Vladimir for snow i use MIG's pigments. also it can be sodium carbonate (but only for 35, 16 scales) . and aslo good way is sugar powder (you can do it bu yourself - just put sugar to coffee grinder)

lol--Honestly, one of the reasons that I made this posting is to PREVENT people from using chemically active ingredients or "foodstuffs" -- kitchen products, food, etc that has similarity to small grains of "snow"--as bad choices for snow products made specifically for modelling applicaions. I will only say this, once more, and with emphasis: DO NOT USE FOOD PRODUCTS OR SODIUM BICARBONATE FOR SNOW!!!! You risk disastrous after-effects and consequences from potential chemical interactions between the products and the solvents an carriers in the paints or clear coats!
I started a separate thread here in the diorama section that you, or anyone else who is thinking of using these cheap substitutes. You ought to read through the various testimonials and experiences so you don't wind up making the huge mistake that can ruin your model collection.Click this link:
Modeling Snow: Do's and Don't's
I usually use the Elmer's and water trick, or acrylic medium, then apply the snow. I never thought of mixing them. I'll give that a try next time
Thanks.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Hi guys,
Toot #2 here, on how to make simple snow for your suspension and tracks, etc. This is how I made the snow on my Trmpeter S51 as seen here;
I'll make it quick and easy: here ya go:
The icicles are made from stretched CLEAR sprue, like you would find clear parts attached to. WHen you heat this, heat it SLOWLY over a flame. If you get too close to the flame, it will blacken the plastic and defeat your intention. FIle the ends of the sprue to points to simulate icicles, and attach with superglue. That's all there is to it!
