Precision Ice & Snow

Thanks for the mention guys! It might seem expensive but suprisingly a little can go an awful long way.. The trick is to use it sparingly, or build up your landscape a smuch as possible beofre creating drifts and similar effects. Because our material has scale weight, it will settle beneath and between grasses etc. Like in this 1/76th Orchard and with more cover........... Or will settle on top of grasses and foliage........ It all depends on how you use it, but at this level of cover the cost should not be an issue and you could treat countless dio's with one bag of refill 115g's Remember the material is only limited by the imagination of the user and is interactive and intuitive to use with as many adhesives and scenarios you care to mention.

Thanks for that Rob.. Since you posted this we have increased our range of products to include different gardes of snow. Also we now produce Winter Camo paint which can be applied to both Armour and Aircraft to reproduce field applied white paintwork which can be gradually removed to expose paintwork, insignia beneath. Also we have extended and improved our ice sheet products and have added water of various hues to our expanding range of materials. See here! http://www.precisioniceandsnow.com/products.html

Thank you for writing this review and sorry it has taken so long to reply to it. We have limited resources and time seems to be the most precious commodity! Since you wrote this review, we have increased our product range substantially and have improved the blending and manufacture of all of our products. This is an ongoing process. We are proud that 85% of our sales are exported across the world from the UK. We have distributors in the United States, Germany, the Netherlands and soon- Canada. Therfore we are always grateful for enthusiastic words about our materials. So thank you Britmodeller for your kind words in support of a British company which 'also' exports much of its products to countries within the Arctic Circle. (The literal Coals to Newcastle!) We have improved our kit which now includes our popular 'Winter Wash'. A simple but effective material which allows for the precise and gradual build of fine detailed snow effects at small scales. Cheers..Thanks for looking.............Steve. Our NEW kit A very snowy T-34 which is seen here with our 'Broken Ice Sheet'- 'Water'- and other materials. A not so snowy Leopard with excellent use of water and melted- powder snow effects And finally..............Our range of compliant and safe water's for all modellers.

Glad you liked our images. Please check out our website for more info. You can imprint our stuff to, either when it has set, or when it is wet. Great fun, but for the serious modeller if you see what I mean

Our Tiger was just a pre-made item just to act as a canvas for our products. With all due respect to the modellers here, we would never knowingly try to pass off our simplistic models as 'the real deal' Unless stated because we are aware of the exemplary standards shown here in Britmodeller. We produce various models for test's, some better, or some worse than each other. Our focus is on our product rather than the model, though that can vary with external contributions. We will seek to improve the quality of our model depictions in the near future.

The rule was simply there to show the scale. We were not measuring snow. Fantastic Diorama, well executed and everything and we are glad you know all about our snow from other threads.

Life is too short to get things wrong! and anyway we were showing the scale not the size of the snowflakes, though we can do that if you want here in 1/35th scale

Hi, The barbed wire was sprayed directionally at a low angle to represent blizzard. I think I used photo mount which is very fine and clear. So, I sprayed a few coats 2-3 seconds applying the Krycell directionally also between coats, tapping and blowing to remove excess. Then after four coats of photo mount adhesive used snow it looked like this... After all those applications, on the wire I had the seeds and the start of frost deposits. I like frost, and I like frost at this scale on wire. However, after doing the frost test, I wanted to go further and build faster. Hairspray is brilliant because it builds quickly and evenly, alternating between apllications of spray 2-3 seconds and the applications of Krycell powder I soon started to achieve thicker layers. Not only on the wire, but also over the bricks and debris to on the floor. Thicker........................ And thicker still................................... And finally!!!!! The initial coats of PhotoMount type adhesive are great if you want to spend forever getting super-fine builds but when you move into things like hairspray, things really take off quickly. The first coat of PhotoMount is quite useful as well because it creates a good key for the later heavier layers. This pictures are of imprinted snow built up in less than 3 minutes using hairspray. Hope that is of some use to you, Cheers Steve

Thanks, the tank is just a pre-assembled test piece. We use so many that we have to. If I'm lucky I get the chance to actually build something, to test on which is much more satisfying.

The overall look is redolant of in theatre painting. Very nice!

Fantastic Job Tango, I am going to have to light the fire now! If it is of interest to you, we make a range of purpose made Snow and Ice effects. Please find us at http://www.precisioniceandsnow.com/ We produce materials that are capable of producing stunning effects of Snow and Ice at all scales 1/178th up to 1/16th. I have enclosed some pictures and a nice video which may be of some interest to you. Very best wishes, Steve.

Very effective paint distressing and the touches of rust are magic. Just the icing on the cake!

Fantastic weathering on that Stalwart, looks like the limestone off sailsbury Plain!

Ha, ha, some of our images make us feel chilly too, I'm going to light our fire soon Love that plane by the way, lovely soot and stains from the exhaust.............

Billybookcase! Very nice Dio! So impressed, I thought you might be interested in the following. Increasingly, our designed and purpose made products are being used by the finest modellers in the world! We manufacture a range of products which out-perform other products (including baking soda etc) so you might consider checking out our website. http://www.precisioniceandsnow.com/ http://s793.photobucket.com/user/stevengmccarron/library/?sort=3&page=1 The advantages of our Krycell powders for Snow and Ice effects are many, but the fact that they can be scaled by application between 1/178th up to 1/35th is pretty useful. Also, Krycell powders have the correct scale sparkle and sparkle colour. The powder is non- soluble and is not hydroscopic. It is a heavy product and so it mimics the weight of real snow on frail and bendable items such as wires and branches and leaves etc. We also manufacture different grades of Krycell powder and pre-cast, layered and tinted scale ice sheets. In this picture, There is Krycell Fine in the center, to the left, baking soda and to the right Bicarbonate of soda. It can be seen how much more granular the two baking products are. The Krycell will not spread out into individual grains like the baking products. Which is why it builds realisticly and locks together to grow into lifelike frost and snow products. even on clear plastic windscreens and cowels at small scales it can be applied to a particle thickness without particles being apparent! Also, krycell does not have that over inflated fluffy look. Also the colour of Krycell powders are closer to that of natural snow and are not 'to white, or bluey white like Bicarbonate and other products. Once again, great work, I just thought that you might be interested in some products that could enhance your future projects. also, we are offering an exclusive discount to members of Britmodeller .
