That has worked really well John. I've only used the Precision Ice and Snow wash on bases, and liked it, but the result you've got here is way better than anything I've achieved.

Strange stuff Peter, I didn't take any time, just brushed it on and dropped some snow powder here and there. Could be the latter that has made the difference. Had expected it to be a battle, refreshingly surprised.

Every time I see you have done an update I go and put my coat on first before reading it!

Very atmospheric use of the white stuff. Coming together very nicely mate.

Progress, today added the running gear, applied the decals and painted the tools.



Tried the tracks, need a few more links, but so much easier to do it this way.

Will apply more PSIW to the tools, thats why there was no need to paint to the edges.









Comments welcome and any ideas please.

Thanks for looking in.
John.

Hi Lee, glad you like it. Managed to finish the length of the tracks this afternoon, hope to get a coat of primer on after evening meal.


John.

Before any one suggests the should or could be tighter there ain't no more movement in them, any shorter and they wouldn't join.

Now of course the running gear will be suitably weathered.
Much happier with this method of build.
