Soft Flake White Snow

This Woodland Scenics product is super realistic. It's pure white and very fine grained. I do the majority of my scenery using 50/50 white glue and that's where I encountered some difficulty. Initially it behaves as if hydro-phobic. Once it does marry with the 50/50 it looses it's flake definition and looks more like compacted snow than undisturbed powder. I've gotten acceptable results by laying a base with 50/50 mixed with this snow then, once thoroughly dry, brushing on a thin coat of 50/50 and using the shaker top to apply the finish - fluffy looking - layer. You can press LIGHTLY with a sandwich baggy of clump foliage to set the flakes just a bit.... Let dry and vacuum up the excess.

I haven’t used this much yet, but so far it’s okay, probably one of the better looking snows I’ve seen. Tbh making snow look real is the hardest thing out there.

When attempting my first effort at a winter scene, I turned to Woodland Scenics to be sure it was done right. Snow Flake White Snow is the perfect product for creating realistic winter scenes. It's so easy to use. First, paint white glue full strength over the surfaces that need snow. Next, sprinkle Snow Flake White Snow in a thick layer (I use a spoon). Using a 2 to 1 water to white glue mix (adding a little degreaser soap as an emulsifier) soak the White Snow and cover with a second layer. This layer will absorb all of the wet glue and harden leaving all of the nice drifting effects you need. While the second coat is still wet, impress tracks and trails and wait to dry. What could be more simple. I highly recommend this product.
