Playing with snow

Actually with confectioner's sugar. I've tried to give the pictures a feel of fresh fallen snow and on the Alaska Caboose a feel of melting snow.

 

Thanks again to my Friend John Cubbin for his great work!

 

Wow Jurg, that looks like a lot of fun...powdered sugar sounds like a great medium to do this with...finally, Jug discovers a landscaping medium we can eat too!! )

How do you keep the rodents and ants etc out of this? Do you have to seal it somehow?

When the photo session is over, I blow the snow (sugar) away. The snow that John used for the Diorama is fixed like in the last picture.

I thought, "Wait a minute, who makes an American rotary in Z?" Then I see the tender.. it's German.

 

Great shots Jung!! I too have used "snow" on some of my N-trak modules. I wet the surface with 50/50 water and matte medium spray and sift baking soda on top. No worry about critters etc. It has a nice sparkle and realistic look and is very permanent.

 

Very nice! It looks so real. :thumbs_up:

 

Amazing Jurg! Looks like real snow melting. I can't say I've ever seen that.

 

Brrrrrrrrrrr!! Hand me my coat! Nice job! That pic with the Milwaukee Road, reminds me of the Vendome Loop in Montana.

 

Can you share some pic's from your N-Trak Module?

 

Jurg, As usual, outstanding work!!! I agree with Jeff, you really need to send some of your pictures into the main stream model railroading magazines, they are truely worthy.

Friends it's on top of my list for next year to send some pic's to various Magazine's and maybe to Walther's too.

 

Looks like Donner Pass with some visiting equipment. Nice work. Dang, that stuff is small.
