Time for a little cold weather sub action!   SaxonTheShiba shares his building of the 1/350 scale rendition of the Russian K-317 in winter.

Beautiful work and display. The snow came out very nice.

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,
Ian

Thanks for the kind words, Joe. Hopefully I captured what I was trying to visualize from the IMGUR photos.
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.
