You have a point there, Dolmot.

I considered making them round first, but they'd have had a large 'foot-print'. This way they will fit better in tight spots, right?

The bases are clever as hell. Looks like fresh snow with such deep tracks.

I like the bases too - adds a bit of... depth.

I managed to get some progress on those three houses:

This one looks more green than I intented, I was aiming for a light pastel color. I have to look at it in the day-light, but I might want make it less green. It seems that Vallejo greens and I don't really get along... Another thing was the window frames, I spent ages trying make up my mind which way up they should be. I figure the protective lip should be on top? I hope I got it right.

The Sauna/cabin is lagging a bit behind, but I will do the windows next. Then it's up to the roof (with snow) and the chimneys. Maybe add some ladders and chpped wood etc.

You worry too much about that green. The buildings are freaking brilliant. The weathered wood of the sauna is lovely.

Carry on.

Hi Verderer.

You have nothing to worry about - the buildings look great! It is very natural.
Snow also beyond praise - great job!

A very,very inspiring project and love the work on the tank wrecks

brilliant stuff. The building just look 'right'. I would love to know how you did that snow effect on the roofs/fences. Can you share your secrets?

Verderer · « **Reply #70 on:** May 10, 2013, 01:40:10 PM »

Thanks Rob, there's really no secret. I use a scatter called Magic Snow which I got from Grey Funnel Line in Germany. Used to buy Magic Sculpt from them as well. The trouble is I can find neither the product or the company on the web now. So it looks like the company has stopped operating. Anyone know more about it?

I am kicking myself for not getting more of this stuff when I had the chance, but I still got one and half tins of the stuff. We'll see how long it lasts.

Managed to do the roofs for the houses, so now they're pretty much done:

After this I want to do something completely else, maybe some woods, tanks or more troops, dunno yet.

LOVE the bulk of snow on the roofs. What was the technique?

Showed the wife - she said they could double up as christmas decorations

Verderer · « **Reply #73 on:** May 19, 2013, 10:57:53 AM »

Thanks, Von Lucky - I built the roof from styrene sheet, then made the rims, and made the bulk of snow with foam board. That was followed by a couple layers of white paint, then white glue & snow scatter. Actually the order was white paint - glue & scatter - some swearing - then another coat of white paint then glue & scatter. Ball point marks just didnt want to go away.

Top-notch work Verderer, these are superb!

Will you do few burned down buildings as well?
