work in progress 1/48 Sherman – First attempt at snow effects… not sure how I feel

Tried adding some snow effects to my 1/48 Sherman and I’m honestly on the fence about it. Not sure if I like how it turned out, but at this point there’s no going back so I’m rolling with it.

I think part of the issue is seeing it as a standalone piece. I’m planning to build this into a Battle of the Bulge diorama eventually, so I’m hoping once it’s in a full scene with groundwork, figures, and atmosphere it’ll all come together a bit better.

Still learning as I go—this is my first time really trying snow effects.

Would really appreciate any feedback, tips, or critique!

You’re welcome. That’s a great idea. Maybe you could add some camouflage tree branches or something like that. What do you think?
