I do say, that is marvellous snow, care to share the recipe?

Just bi carb and gloss varnish, much better than
that rubbish from GW. Practice on a old mini first

Thanks! I have been using my own mixture, GW Snow + PVA + White paint all mixed together, but yours looks many times better. Hope you are ok with me taking this recipe?

Be my guest but it's not my recipe ive read about it on
here somewhere

Don't worrie if it looks translucent of 'slushy'
it drys White, just experiment.

Nice work on the nmm, and the red tunic is looking very good. A bit pale for a dark elf, maybe a matter of taste. Dark skin would have stood out well surrounded by all these light parts imo. The back of the armor looks a bit odd, I think there is one light stroke too many or the top one goes a bit too much to the right. I bit rougher on this side too.

A word on the bicarbonate snow, it can be good to add a hint of light blue paint in the mix, it compensates for the bi-carb tendency to yellow over time

Cheers, yes the back went off the mark a bit.
Good tip on the snow
The pale skin is following on from my other dark elf
I was trying for an albino look with very
pale skin with pink eyes.
