mikelhh does the best early winter scenes I have ever seen. His snow even melts in due time [swg] Modeling a plausible winter scene is a challenging task, especially if you plan to go for a scenery deeply covered with snow. Just sprinkling on WS or Heki snow products over existing terrain won´t do it. Snow piles up in the oddest places and those drifts have to be carefully planned, considering the predominant wind direction on your layout. A friend of mine used plaster mixed with white glue to form the snow scenery and painted the surface with a white latex paint, to which he had added Heki glitter. Looked very nice! A word to weathering. Nothing looks more awkward than having build a nice winter scene and running clean locos and rolling stock on the layout. In winter, there is always a lot of dirt covering the engines and cars, even snow covering the pilot, couplers etc. To be honest, I would not even attempt to catch that look - I´d never make it look right.
