Hi every one my name is Graeme and i am faurly new top this great hobbie as well to this website. i am working on a small vignette base and i need to know the best ways to make fake snow. if anyone has any tips or knows some good recipes email me at [email protected] or post it thx.

Best product out there is called Micro Balloons. It is available from Woodland Scenics, about $8 for a big bottle that will last many a blizzard. To apply it, all you do is get some pump hairspray and spray it where you want the snow. Sprinkle the snow on and let dry. For heavier areas, repeat the process till you have the effect you want. For drifts, build them up with your groundwork first, then coat with snow.

Here is how it turns out:




Some people will tell you to use baking powder, or artificial sweetener, or flour, etc. Don't do it. Food based items will either yellow over time or will be eaten by bugs. Best bet is to spend the $8 on the Woodland Scenics snow. It is easy to apply and looks great.

It is a great product, I highly recommend it.

The best I have ever seen was made from a material called snowcoat available from the www.smallshop.eu

Snowcoat looks good too. It looks more like wet, stcky snow. The Woodland Scenics Snow works well for dry, blowy snow.

hey thx alot it would be an good investment for myself since i can see some ideas in the future. thx again

I have no experience with making snow, but I have heard of some, who use talcum powder. Don't know how well it works though.
