Best Snowy Base

Trying a few different ways to get snowy bases.  Left hand technique is white glue (that dries clear) and Woodland Scenics Snow.  Center technique is white glue, brown ballast, and then latex paste (dries white)  as partial cover and snow.  Right hand technique is latex paste and snow.

Center and right techniques could complement each other on the tabletop.  I think those are the techniques I'll go with.

Minis are WWII winter Soviets, 15mm from Peter Pig.

On To Bastogne!

A heavy recon group moves up the road to reach Bastogne or some snowy place in December 1944.  Minis are Bolt Action 1/56th products.
