Alpha Delta 210 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Goodness me! Specialist recovery required! Your imagination certainly keeps me coming back for more! Great work - I particularly like the icicles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRK Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 How on earth do you get that frozen glass effect on the windscreen?? Looks amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two methods you can use; 1. The cheapest, which is to mix salt in warm water with a drop or two of detergent; and pour it into a spray bottle and spray it on. It takes about 10-20 minutes to crystallize. 2. Or, you can buy 'frost' solution by Green Stuff. The icicles were made by holding clear spruce over a candle and pulling slowly until you achieve the desired length. Then it is just a matter of cutting the ends to the desire lengths. Hope this helps. 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Hard to credit that isn't actual ice, frost & snow. here was I thinking that you put it in the deep freeze & photographed it in a hurry when you took it out. It looks ever so convincing, made me feel cold to look at it. Well done. 👍 Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I think we'll wait for the thaw before we recover that one then. Another excellent little vignette. Do you keep it in the display cabinet or the freezer? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
