Brush Unibond(PVA) onto the roof in the shape you want then throw fine sand on it, let dry paint with white matt emulsion cheaper than hobby paints, then dry brush the rest.Cheers AL

Thanks for that! I was figuring some sort of snow effect product, but you've proved you don't need the branded stuff for a great look! I'll file that tip away somewhere in the memory banks!

but I have to ask; did you make the snow roads yourself?

Foy uses the Early War Miniatures dirt track (not very wide but works for us)
Stavelot yeh MDF with printed stone glued to it.

If you are using it for 28mm games/buildings you need `o` scale that is also the scale of the road paper.

Cheers Alan

Ps the factories are also clad in the same type of paper.

Al, as I sit here typing this reply the temperature is 13 degrees and quit cold here in Wyoming.
Your wargaming table literally gives me the chills while enjoying it, I love to gaze at your custom creations of historical wargaming tables.

Your efforts are very inspiring and thank you Sir for sharing the images.
