Creating a snowy base.

The Panzer walker is given a coat of dark yellow as a starting layer.
 

Next I drew on some camouflage lines with a pen.

Some base colours were then added. I tried to go for a WWI German vibe but also added some red. The red was to give it a slightly new look and was a little nod to the Red Baron.

Once the colours were down and washed with rust shade, I dry brushed some white onto the legs and belly. This is a new idea to help the weathering effects.

Here are my snow products, I found the green stuff frost today while looking for paints. In it goes, I have no idea what it looks like when dry.

My first step is a muddy base from Vallejo, when this is dry a layer of snow texture and from Vallejo.

While the snow mixture is still wet I sprinkle on some snow flock. This sticks to the wet mud too so sprinkling it on is better for control. If you dipped it in the pot, the whole base would be white. I like the idea of mixing different mediums when doing the snow. I think it gives a better result rather than just using one.

This is the base done really, time for the figure to get the freeze treatment. For this I use the Blizzard pot from GW. Don't use the Vallejo texture on the figure as the results are not subtle. This whole snow project has been one of trial and error for me. I've had a couple of disasters along the way, but the only way to find stuff out is to try it.

The blizzard mix is by far the best out of the bunch but it might be a waste to cover bases in it. You can use it on the base too on branches or places of detail.

The blizzard mix was used on the legs of the walker in large clumps, this gave a nice affect of fresh snow. It is also good for forming little patches in places where the snow would catch and settle.

Logs look great when covered in snow, there's not a lot of point spending too long painting these as they're going to be covered.

I had brushed a bit of white paint on top of the shoulders to help the blizzard paste sit on them. I think this helped the look of the effect as the dry brushing looks like fine frosting.

Now this stuff is new and I have no idea what the results are going to be. Apparently it takes a bit of time to get results, I had tried to test it on the logs but ran out of patience and flocked the base.

A terror stalks the frozen no mans land.

I've added some frost effects to the legs and belly, hopefully it will look good, let's wait and see. Apparently, the solution grows into frosten crystals.

The very last step, again I'm just making this up as I go, is to add a little watered down earth paint around the feet. This is just to add a little definition to the base, so it's not just white.
