<p>Snow scenes are extremely difficult to model - especially, if you want your scenery richly covered by freshly fallen snow. Most of the snow stuff you can buy is way too coarse to represent snow and does not give you the texture of a thick layer of snow. </p> <p>The best method I have found is using plaster (in a thick paste) to cover the ground and the roof tops, shaping it to the form I want, considering wind drifts etc. I then paint it with a shiny white latex color. Sounds a lot easier than it actually is. To achieve that look of a snowy landscape, you need to observe reality a lot. In any case it is a lot of work - much more than a summer landscape.</p>
