Ace-Garageguy Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Google "model railroad snow". Everything you could want to know. (That rhymes. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Woodland Scenics Snow. Most hobby shops....Hobby Lobby......(did I say that out loud??) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SfanGoch Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Avoid baking soda. It absorbs moisture and tends to develop a yellowish (Frank Zappa, anyone?) color over time. You can use Woodland Scenic's Winter Effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunkypeanutbutter Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Does it stick like the railroad grass does? Diluted white glue over it, sprinkle more on top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Why??? Why do you want to do this? The real stuff isn't bad enough? I hate snow. I hate what snow does to cars. I'll never build a model that will remind me of the stuff I'm trying to get away from. Remember, snow is a four letter word. Please don't use it around me again.

chunkypeanutbutter Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 SNOWSNOWSNOW I'm doing it because I'm going to make a diorama with a (Oh, how simply ghastly) rusty car, maybe a Barracuda or Torino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Just do what I do. Build your model. Wait for it to snow. Take pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadrunner Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 You can also use Microballoons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 You can also use Microballoons. Almost as bad to breathe as asbestos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Here you go - and it's safe too! No danger of fire! Classic Product! When I was cleaning out my grandparents house, where they had lived for 50 years, I found a lot of old products on the basement shelves. One was a box of asbestos flakes to mix with water to make a paste to repair furnace and duct insulation. This was way before digital cameras so we didn't get a picture, and we didn't want to chance transporting that box anywhere, so we carefully triple bagged it and put it out with the trash!

unclescott58 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Here you go - and it's safe too! No danger of fire! I'd love to find a box. An empty one would be fine. It's just funny that we use to thing asbestos was safe. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 OK, I'll bite. Why? In case of spontaneous human combustion?? I think it was to keep us from torching ourselves with our Mattell Vac-u-Form or Creepy Crawlers hot plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
