If their Korsus is a blue foam lined aluminium box - yes!
I've had the infantry for years, they are mostly done ;)

The only ones that aren't are the Warlord guys - the continuation war guys are in summer uniform and the ski patrol need feeding up as they are tiny!

I need to make one of these, I got a wheeled Maxim just need the sled (Ahkio?)

I have been experimenting with snow effects and found this product which I really like.  I think it would be perfect for this Project.

It is a glistening powder that you can either mix with PVA to make a paste or you can coat your existing snow effect with PVA and sprinkle it on as a last powder layer.

Thanks. 
I'm using a base of textured masonary paint and woodland scenics soft flake snow.  Seems to be working well. 
For the light snow I'm using a squirty bottle with watered down PVA.
I'll matt varnish the lot make sure it says put (I'll trial it first!)

For snow I bought 2 jars of Snow Tex and some white glitter. I will base my snow mix on a tutorial that I found on LAF -

Thanks to pocoloco who has sent me 5 more ski troops I'm going to get these guys painted up.  I've also made my ahkio for my maxim

Undercoat to show the imperfections. Green stuff next!

Excellent work on the ahkio!   8)

Good that you now have more than a squadful of skiers. By the way, how big are the squads in BA?
