Happy weekend everyone! Hopefully you have all seen the kickstarter we have going on right now. Its been amazing so far, so for any of you who have backed and are a patron too, thanks so much for the extra support! 

The tutorial train doesn't stop! I had to make a base for a box art this week, and after experimenting with this snow product for some years now, I believe I have made the best results so far. I hope you enjoy this tutorial, and find use for it in future projects! Hopefully you have seen the Box art I did for the Warrior in the kick-starter. For me the snow base makes it. hopefully the joy  comes across in this video, I loved making it!

Just to update you, I am still painting the Forest base and you will get the tutorial for that this week too. Im finding with that I have to do a little each day, then let things like glue and resins dry. Its quite fun and im looking forward to sharing the results. I am enjoying these base tutorials as they are quite easy to follow I think and get good results. As always, let me know what you think of this snow!

Lovely stuff and seen the kickstarter. I'm in for one bust and figure. However... I'm currently selling unused models to get some big box funds. I need them all. Don't tell the wife.

love it mate looks super cool and realistic. silly question but where do you get decent sized bark chips from, are they just from a big bag from the garden centre? i never see any around where i live to steal ha! thanks..

Yan Lai

Awesome tutorial thanks. I echo Sam’s comment. Where do you get the bark from?? Like orchid mix??

Rob Cass

Another vote for the question about where to get the bark - previous Internet searches let me down (such that I’m thinking that the answer might be ‘my local park’ or something 😂). Great looking base and awesome looking kickstarter models - can’t wait to get my hands on them.

Love the contrast and colour on the armour and cloak. Great tutorial mate. How did you secure that flower?

Really loving this snow tutorial, and your other base painting suggestions. It's an area I would love to improve, so keep chucking them our way.
