Welcome aboard Waterbay - a.k.a. Don. Glad you decided to sign in.

That's a really nice winter dio. What did you use for the snow?

Snow comes from woodland scenics and is sprinkled over a mixture of white glue and cheap acyrlic white paint. The groundwork is styrofoam blocks covered with celluclay

Welcome aboard. I'm a relative newcomer, and I spent some time lurking quietly before coming into the light. You won't regret it for a minute; I've already had several pressing and perplexing questions answered for me. This place is fantastic.
