A question for those of you who have snow terrain - did you may trees pre-snowed, or byuy normal trees and snow them yourself?
I've just ordered a bunch of winter Eastern Front figures, and will need some terrain to go with them - principally fir trees and Russian houses...
Dave
I usually powder them myself, as you can find few pre-snowed ones.
Woodland Scenics sells some, but they are way too expensive. :-\
Peter
They are indeed!
I've found some trees I'd forgotten I'd had, so they'll end up bneing protptypes :)
Dave
The little fir trees they use as cake decorations sometimes come "snowed". They tend to be cheap and cheerful if you need lots.
Wrong time of the year, of course... :(
How I 'snowed' my Russian Eastern Front terrain can be found here if you're interested. Nice and simple method... using the finest resin scenery and trees ;)

Cool - thanks for that! :)
That winter terrain looks great Blaxkleric. Is 'Citadel Snow' the best snow effect? Often wondered about about doing snow on bases.

I use a mix of Woodland Scenics Snow [bought some about 10 years ago & it's still only about a quarter empty], PVA, white paint & water - mix it up & splodge it on with an old brush...once it's nearly dry, give it a shake of pure snow on top. You can see the effect here:

Nice job. Yes, I might have to give snow a go for my forthcoming Arthurians...
