This is my Academy 1/35 P-IV with a busted track that got stranded and left in the snow.

Nice one Si.

Two things though....

First, it's bl***y freezing here, any chance of a dio. with a sun umbrella and the crew wearing shorts sat underneath it!

Second. Picture 2...I think you are ready to invest in a new pair of trainers!lol

Excellent build.

Lovely job Si. There again with the weather up your way you could have left it outside for a couple of days for the same effect!!

Great diorama though, nice effect and composition.

How about having them standing about eating Ice-creams? :D

As for my trainers, plenty of life left in the old buggers.

Glad you like it Ron.

What a beauty si, that looks so real if your trainers weren't in the picture. Great build well done.

We just got dumped on (snow) and your snow looks better than the stuff that fell in my yard.

Ta fellas, glad you like it, the snow effect came out rather good, especially on the tank.

That is a trade secret Ron...oh, okay seen as its you. It is just PVA and salt, dollop the PVA on and then just pour on the salt, it soaks right into the PVA and forms a nice hard coating. Only issue is that you need to leave to fully dry out as the salt draws the water out of the PVA and can weep, leaving clear patches of salty water. Once fully dry just seal with a matt varnish.
