Woodlands scenics snow (50%) +PVA (50%) and a dash 0f bright white paint I use w&N tube acrylic (I can\'t remember the name...I\'m at work 
) . This can be loaded into a 10/20ml syringe and keeps for weeks all you have to do is unblock the nozzle. Then sculpt to taste with a wet tool. PM me and I\'ll send you some of the snow flake because it is £8.00 for a big tub and I\'m sure I can spare you some. You can dust over with dry to give a powdery look when nearly dry.
Hope this answers your question although I might be wrong.....
Is this for what I think it\'s for ?? She will look nice on the snowy base.

words right from my mouth...
The Techstar snowflakes are great. They are a little harder to work with, but really do look like snow.
I didn\'t even know they were in the CMON shop, but I sure am glad they are.
I have tried the woodland scenics, but I haven\'t come up with a good practice....
I\'ll try to use your technique Greymane, since I have some larger bases I want to work on with snow.
Another great product is made by Woodland Scenics and is called FlexPaste. You can use it to sculpt snow drifts and it holds its shape, even after its dry. Then just sprinkle a little of the Techstar stuff on and viola, a deep imposing snow drift!

I\'m using a textured paste called Snow-tex made by Decoart (http://www.decoart.com) and works well:

Is a white paste with something that seems sand and you can use a toothpick to shape it on the miniature.
