Snow products

I know there are diorama products that can be used to represent snow, but I've never had an occasion to use them in the past.

What's out there and where (in the UK preferably) is it possible to purchase it?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
John

Woodland Scenics Snow

April 23 2012, 5:48 PM 

I like to use Woodland Scenics Snow. It is made of very fine, granular, micro-balloons of styrene. It makes very good, dry, blowing snow. All you do is wet the surface with something to affix it with; like pump hairspray or thinned white glue, then shake it over the subject, repeat until it is as thick as you want. You can also mix it with thick white glue and some brown acrylic paint to make thicker, frozen snow or slush.

Here is how it turns out.

Not sure where/if you can get it in the UK, but you should be able to anywhere that carries scenic train products.

Couple of articles in Mil Mod on their products

July 25 2012, 11:21 AM 

The latest (in the US) issue of Militry Modeller has a couple of articles, specifically written about using their products. It's the issue with the Hetzer on the cover. HTH!
