The snow-white areas of the snowmen was painted in layers of white with a touch of blue and then pure white glazes. I chose to add some gloss varnish to the mix for two reasons; firstly - to add some frost effect and then to aid paint flow.
It was only after taking the photo above that I realised I still had to paint the bases!
I used the same paint mix (including the gloss varnish) to paint the bases as snow covered terrain.
Even though I have a number of specialist figure holders. I still prefer to use a simple cork. Lesson learnt, "Don't waste your money on figure holders, just use the old favourites."

Nicely done, Tony. My wife would love these.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to upgrade to cork - still use lathes of wood, from 30 year's ago. 8)
