So in my pack of snow products was one called snow wash. This seemed pretty cool and a good place to start with snowy scenes i mean it snows on cars right. Ok down to it this is the wee bottle we are talking about. Now you can skip my chatter and go straight to the experts using it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lk-BERp1RvA

So how did i use this stuff, well to be honest i gave it a good shake and then applied it to any surface that is flat where snow would fall on the car. So roof, end ribs, door guides and rain strip.

When first applied the wash looks like a white paint wash but the snow particles in the wash start to flow to the edges and into the recesses of the model as it dries. This was the first coat but I applied a second and then used a dry brush to move the settling material to the edges of the roof.

I then detailed the ends and even managed to get the effect of melted and re-frozen snow on an end rib.

So as you can see its a nice build up of frozen snow in the recesses fo the car to give that frozen effect. Fresh snow would blow off the car when moved but the frozen ice below the top snow layer is left in extreme temperatures and this is what I was going for.

Here you can see the snow collecting on the end grab irons/ladders and build up in the door runner.

I really reccomend this product if you are going for a winter scene. I did some more cars whilst I was working at the weekend so I’ll add more pictures of some other stuff in a post later in the week.

Oh looks like the postie is here so best be off, hopefully he has some materials for this weekens projects.
