discussion KV1 meets little Panzer.

[Guest]

Hi, well its done. Taken just before the storm.




Positioning to apply the snow .
Other hair sprays are available from various outlets.
Once sprayed with a good coat the first amount of snow was put on from that angle, gives the impression of coming from the rear, and several of you had mentioned about hiding a lot of the detail .












Hope it looks ok, I would have preferred a much heaver snow fall, but realise it would hide much of the bank and ice.
Thanks for following and for the comments and help along the way.

John.

Damn Dude 2,

Another wonderful piece of ice cold winter is done and what a piece it is. You've hit all the right numbers here. The figs in the winter coveralls look really cool with the snow back drop. The whole scene makes you want to go inside and crank up the heat….

You're right with not using too much snow and it lets the details shine through. Fantastic John and there was no fire or flames involved!!! How the hell did that happen....Slipping are we???

A Hearty Prost to You
Allen

Nice work John, the ice & snow looks good, read cold! Plenty of interest to lead the eye in, the tight corner makes you think about how the little panzer went off the road.:thumb2:

Excellent work John, one can feel the cold, like the snow effect, we'd call that a "dusting" round these parts:hugging-face:
