I use powdered alum for snow, it doesnt yellow with age and you can build it up in to thick layers using p.v.a. glue. It's available in chemists.

Hi John,
There is an article in the new Figure International magazine #10 by Christian Petite on how he does his water effects. However, I feel it is a bit basic and doesn't tell you a great deal.

I remember seeing a video a few years back on painting figures by Kevin Golden (Ithink that's his name) and he used Dorlands wax. I dont know if the video is still available.
