Only tip I can think to give you,is wait until the holidays roll around and get some of the fake snow in a can. Sorry I couldn't be much more help.

Insulation foam. Go grab a random issue of the warhmmer mag...WHITE DWARF. They routinely make some FANTASTIC dios and diotables for gaming. Their biggest secret is large chunks of insulation foam. It can be sanded down, sealed with painting patch, and drybrushed to make VERY convincing landscapes. You can get it at home depot. layering of paint can make convincing arctic landcapes, and the size can REALLY supply the scope you're looking for.

get some texture spray paint and paint up some rock snad stuff, and then as white for snow caps and what not

FROM MY EXPERIENCE IN BUILDING LARGE BASES-----3 TOTAL

 

PLANNING WAS MY BEST FRIEND--------THE ONE IM WORKING ON NOW ----I JUST JUMPED INTO IT AND DIDNT ---PLAN FOR TIME CONSTRAINTS AND OTHER FACTORS-------SUCH AS $$$$$ SO RIGHT NOW ITS SITTING THERE NOW GETTING DONE

 

 

PROBABLY---THE BIGGEST FACTOR IN MY CASTLE THOUGH, WAS $$$$$

 

I HAD NEVER PLANNED ON SPENDING AS MUCH AS I DID ON IT AND IT WAS BEGINING TO TURN INTO A MONEY PIT!!!!!!

SO I FINISHED IT QUICKLY AND MADE IT LOOK AS GOOD AS POSSIBLE!!!!

 

 

THE LAST COBRA BASE( MY CASTLE) I MADE I HAD PLANNED OUT FOR OVER A YEAR

 

AND I MADE ACOUPLE MOCK UPS OF IT

 

NEXT-----

 

 

BE RESOURCEFULL----------I MADE A REALLY COOL COBRA TOWER USING 2 BATHROOM TRASH CANS

 

 

AND IF YOU HAVE ANY OLD JUNK JOE BASES OR VECHILES -----TAKE A LOOK AT THEM AND SEE WHAT YOU CAN USE OFF OF THOSE

 

I ACTUALLY MADE A PRETTY COOL COMPUTER STATTION USING THE

 

83 JOE BASE COMPUTER STATION A FEW OF MY SONS "BIG" LEGOS AND A OLD U.S.B. HUB PORT WITH THE LIGHTS FROM IT!!!!

 

 

NEXT ----CHECK OUT ALL THE DIOS YOU CAN -------EVEN IF THEY ARE FROM OTHER LINES ---BECAUSE YOU CAN ALWAYS GET IDEAS FROM SOMEONE ELSE AND USE IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE ------NOT SAYING STEAL SOME ELSES IDEA----------BUT ADD OR TAKE AWAY AND MAKE IT YOUR OWN

 

NEXT -----TAKE AN IDEA FROM HASBRO OR FROM ANOTHER LINE AND INCORPORAE IT INTO YOURS-----EXAMPLE----

I LOVED HOW THE TERRORDROME HAD THE FIREBAT SILO IN THE MIDDLE-----WHEN I MADE MY CASTLE I HAD THE MAIN TOWER HAVE A PLANE SILO IN IT ALSO

 

 

THATS ALL I CAN ADD FOR NOW HOPE IT HELPS
