Oh.. those spray that can hold your hair up? It'll hold your model too? Interesting.
Any more suggestions towards making snow?

Talcum powder works good too for snow.
Mix white glue + water + powder.

But by mixing powder to water, won't the powder clog into huge lumps? Making the "snow" look out of shape

Haha.. why not just pour talcum powder on and then spray it (to make it stay) using hairspray?

Hairspray can be used to seal powder too.
There are alot of ways to accomplish things in modelling.

eerie, how do you go about doing that? Just place the figure on the semi-harden putti, leaving a footprint when it dries?
Oh guys, I'm currently doing this kit by Dragon. Wehrmacht Unteroffizier (Eastern Front 1943), Scale 1/16. Have some problems with the kit fixing together. After cementing them to place, there're some gaps between parts. Can I use putti for this job? (Filling up the gaps)
What's the difference between putty and miliput? It's the same thing right?
