Good day everyone. I am starting to plan my first scene. For my first theme I want to design a winter display for the next holiday season. I talked briefly with the clerk at the train hobby store. From what I understand I should start with plywood and then paint that plywood green for grass, or brown for earth. We did not talk about it, but I figure that for a winter scene I would want to paint the board white. I am sure for some of you that this is all pretty elementary, so please bear with me. If any of you have some different suggestions for a different color, or a specific color of white, please share it with me. What type of paint would I use for this? Flat? Semi-Gloss? Next question I have is about snow. What have you found that works the best for giving the landscape a look of snow on the ground? I was kinda thinking of that can snow stuff that you can spray on, but I might be way off base on this. Can any of you provide me with links of pictures on the web that I can took at to get ideas? Thanks for your time! OffTheTrack
