Probing snow, Ardennes 1944 (1 Viewer)

[Richard Tree]

Hello,

I'm planning to make a large diorama of the Battle of the Bulge colection. I intend to make it a snowy diorama. Recently I visited a modelers show and bought snow i.e. grinded glas, to see how it performers as snow.
I made a small diorama to see how it works, the result is in the pictures. I like it and it seemes to work.

What do you guys think?

greetings,

Richard

Richard,

It looks great. Very nice winter diorama.

Does the lighting affect the "snowy" appearance?

Kind Regards, Raymond.

Hi Richard,

The glass looks great! However, I have a question:

Is there no concern about the glass potentially scratching or otherwise damaging the finish on the figures?

Warmest personal regards,

Pat

Wadepat,

Best regards to you to,

I don't think it will damage the figures. The grain is so fine that it will not scratch them. It is like sand. I think it will not go yellow as other products do. Time will however tell.

Greetings

Richard

Sorry forgot to tell you that I applied it with thinned down wood glue.

is the glass so ground down that it can't cut you anymore even if you were rubbing it between your fingers?

 

[Richard Tree]

Redhugh, Yes it is so ground down, its even finer then sand. I'am not injured when placing it on de dio

JBP, thanks

Being Canadian I'm an expert on snow! The crushed glass gives the appearance of snow that has crystalized due to extremely cold weather, nice texture, I like it. I can almost hear the crunch as these soldiers combat boots step along the ground.
