hey guys, I am attempting to make snow bases for my WHF Ogres and before my models arrive I wanted to make a few practice bases to figure out what I am doing. So my question is:

AFter I mix the PVA and the Bi-Carp together and place onto the base is there anything I need to do after it dries, I.E apply a pva/water mix to give it extra strength?

Thanks in advance for the replies

Mike

Nope just leave it to dry on the base it drys very solid

I usually hit it with some more PVA glue/water mix after the initial batch dries, for the strength. I usually make the initial batch pretty thin though to get a smoother look to the snow. I usually prod the snow with the end of a brush or wood stick to see how yielding or crumbly it is, if it has too much give or flakes off, give it some more glue.

thanks very much guys!
