Hey everybody. I finally had a bit more free time to work on the Kodiak. I really am digging how the display is coming along.
I started with the clay and the trees. Then moved onto getting a "rock" set in for the Kodiak to stand on. Followed by some happy moss and some little bushes to break up the color. I also have a rusted out Menoth Jack thing to give a good contrast to the greens.
Then it was onto the snow. I searched and read and spoke to a few fantastic people in the hobby and found that Secret Weapons Miniatures - Crushed Glass is the best snow effect around. A few words of caution when using this stuff. It is CRUSHED GLASS!!! Wear a friggen N95 mask. You do NOT want this stuff in your lungs (lungs + glass = no bueno). Also wear a pair of rubber gloves and use this stuff on a surface you can dump out. Be safe ok?
So yea basically you use a clear resin like Still Water then dump the glass onto it. It drys and BLAM snow....
Ok I'll stop yapping. Have some pics.
That looks great!
ReplyDeleteI too like to use crushed glass for snow, but I tend to use it to make wet snow and use Woodland Scenics Soft Flake Snow to make deeper, powdery areas. I also like to blend the two as well; larger collections of soft flake snow with a thin mix of crushed glass and water effects around the edges.
That's a fantastic idea! Thanks man!
