Snow on model AFV's

[OldManModeller]

So. Many years ago, I built a Monogram 1/32 Panzer IV with snow weathering. I am considering the same thing for an Academy M36 B1 TD that I am finishing up now. If my memory serves me correctly, I used baking soda and a spray over it. Was it hairspray or Clearcoat? I don't remember.

It Was Way simpler than white glue and pigments and yada yada. I like simple.

Any advice would be good.

Woodland Scenics is a company that makes snow products for dioramas and models. There are probably others too.
I don't have the computer skills to post a link using my phone.

I've used plaster of paris for this, use a strainer to control the amount. The stuff from hobby stores is white, sometimes the stuff from home-improvement stores can be a bit off-white. I think they use it for sheetrock

I've also heard that tile grout works well too.

Can't say I've ever done that, but have achieved a similar effect standing at the bus stop in February!
Icing sugar or talc must be fine enough as well...
