Re: Snow

That is, if you have the tme to put into that much painting. But if you
want 
flocking as a quick solution, nd don't like the gleam, why not just give
it 
a once-over with Dullcote or some similar matte lacquer?

The snow flock (used for railway modelling) and christmas decoration
sprays I
have seen all look very shiny and frosty, which is how snow looks close
up but
not from any distance.
The best snowcovered miniature terrains I have seen have all been
painted, not
flocked. Use some fine filler or plaster or somesuch to form the
snowdrifts.
Paint it white with a touch of blue, with more blue in the shadows. This
of
course only works if you want a fully snow covered landscape, where the
ground
doesn't show through.
