chunkypeanutbutter Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 How d'you make snow? Baking soda? You can't clear it on, can you?
Ace-Garageguy Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Google "model railroad snow". Everything you could want to know. (That rhymes. )
Dave Van Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Woodland Scenics Snow. Most hobby shops....Hobby Lobby......(did I say that out loud??)
SfanGoch Posted December 9, 2014 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.
chunkypeanutbutter Posted December 9, 2014 Author Posted December 9, 2014 Thanks, guys! Forgot about railroad snow....
cobraman Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Good suggestion from Dave. That stuff looks pretty good.
chunkypeanutbutter Posted December 12, 2014 Author Posted December 12, 2014 Does it stick like the railroad grass does? Diluted white glue over it, sprinkle more on top?
unclescott58 Posted December 12, 2014 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. Scott
chunkypeanutbutter Posted December 13, 2014 Author 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.
unclescott58 Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 By the way, does the road to Shambala (your stated location) have any snow on it? Scott
Tom Geiger Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Just do what I do. Build your model. Wait for it to snow. Take pictures.
unclescott58 Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 By the way, does the road to Shambala (your stated location) have any snow on it? Scott I'm still waiting for an answer to my question above Miles. Scott
ChrisBcritter Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Here you go - and it's safe too! No danger of fire!
SfanGoch Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Here you go - and it's safe too! No danger of fire! And, it's a great breakfast topping.
chunkypeanutbutter Posted December 19, 2014 Author Posted December 19, 2014 I'm still waiting for an answer to my question above Miles. Scott No Sorry I didn't see this, I thought the topic had died.
unclescott58 Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Here you go - and it's safe too! No danger of fire! Where can one get a box? Scott
Ace-Garageguy Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 You can also use Microballoons. Almost as bad to breathe as asbestos.
Roadrunner Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Almost as bad to breathe as asbestos. Right. It's certainly not to be confused with cocaine.
Tom Geiger Posted January 1, 2015 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 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
Tom Geiger Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 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 Yup! We even slept in asbestos pajamas!
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Yup! We even slept in asbestos pajamas! OK, I'll bite. Why? In case of spontaneous human combustion??
Tom Geiger Posted January 2, 2015 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
