Hey guys, Another non TF custom I'm working on, this time within another fictional universe I love, as I'm sure many others do - Star Wars. 
So this is the main part of a little diorama I'm putting together - which I thought I'd show off before I nestle within its setting. Its a Revell kit which I've repainted and weathered/battle damaged. Just got to pick up some modelling 'snow' tomorrow so I can get started on the Hothian landscape!
Hopefully I'll be returning to the TF Universe soon!

what did u use? | Well, ordinarily you'd just use snow scatter from model shops. However in this case, I wanted the snow to be stuck more rigidly, so it doesn't get everywhere!
To do that, first off you gotta build up a structure of the snowy environment, I used a sculpting product from a modelshop for that. Then paint it white. Then spray snowy areas with artists spray mount, scatter your snow product, shaking off excess. Then, to seal it to stop it from getting everywhere, I went over the whole thing with a clear coat.
And bingo, you got a snow effect that doesn't get everywhere!
