Thanks Michael and glad you liked it. I haven't worked with snow alot, especially in this scale but this technique seemed to work alright.
Best wishes,

Great job on the weathering and snow.I know the limber holes had a closing feature to reduce noise, but most pictures show them open to the inner hull, thus darker in appearance. IMHO, some darkening of the holes would add depth, and improve on an already awesome model.
