Snow
Try out No-Fire Snow by DUNCAN Ceramics or SNOW-TEX by Decoart.
These nontoxic, nonfired self-sealing paste makes realistic snow and textured effects over finished pieces. These product can be used on nearly everything. Fast and easy and most important highly controllable.

Alternatively you can make snow the following way:
One layer of plaster of paris over the areas to be covered with thick snow. When the plaster was dry it was painted over with thinned white PVA glue. At last some layers of white marble powder have been added and fixed with aerosol varnish. Ask your local tombstonemaker for white marble powder...lol
Instead of white marble powder you can use baking soda or the powder from sanded down plaster of paris.

For really powerdy snow, just sculpt it with whatever you prefer. Paint it white, then just glue some of this stuff that\'s used for model car upholstry (the white kind obviously). Other people reccomend using marble flakes for this, bit the car stuff is cheaper and easier to find around the testor\'s stuff.
Hope this helps!

Canadians know snow.
Hey I was BORN in Dead..uhhh.. Edmonton. lol
BTW How do you know it\'s wolvie\'s home town? Which comic was it???? PuhleeezzE? I\'m a comic fan and now will wither away without knowing.
Ahem, back on topic now.
As for snow...
What I use on bases is Ultraviolet resistant gesso mixed with a drop of old GW shadow grey (ice blue works too). This was sort of randomly gobbed on the static grass and rocks to look like heaps of fallen snow.
You have to do it in layers or else it will crack.
Another thing you may want to do is lightly wash the gesso after its dried with a pearlescent paint for a glimmery snowy look. I did this on some space wolves and a large 20x20 inch diorama base for them.
I used the gesso method five years ago when I redid all my space wolf bases and they haven\'t yellowed or faded. I\'m still using the same method for snow today.
Hope this helps
Peace!

I use woodland Scenic snow mixedto a paste with PVA glue. Then I build the base up as normal and gloop the snow over the painted rocks and vegetation.
