  • Painting Necromancy’s Holiday special! In this episode I’ll show you how to make quick and easy icicles and snow for tabletop or decoration displays. I also made a tiny winter village and trees to go along with it, as a throwback to my childhood memories. Let’s get crafty!
    Dedicated in memory of my mother.

      Thank you! 😊 I’ve tried it before with greenstuff to make a huge stone floor. Works well for dioramas. :)

      I actually flinched when you did it, and briefly looked around worriedly at my desk. 😆

    That was adorable! I just bought a bunch of highend AK snow effects, but I also picked up some textured craft paint called Snowbank and a translucent paint called whipped cream. I may mix them with glue and baking soda for a base and use the expensive stuff for a top coat. Anyway, thanks for sharing. Those trees looked so much better! Cool trick wirh the shells for the cobblestones!

    • @Zambies
      @Zambies  Рік тому +1

      Thanks! I never used the AK and other stuff but I’ll look into trying some of these effects out 😄

  • @chrissouthard503

    A tweak to that snow mix that worked for me was to use some craft store pearl white paint as a substitute for the white paint. It gave a bit more of a subtle glisten like it is wet than the white paint I had been using.

      Oh! I like this idea. I’ll have to give that a try. Thanks :)

    I don't think you went overboard with the snow... could have been even more!
    That squigg riding Christmas gobo would have looked great in this diorama!
    🤔 warhammer themed nativity scene, how about that? 🤣

    • @Zambies
      @Zambies  2 роки тому

      Haha. If the Gobo wasn’t a commission piece I would have kept it in there. But a warhammer nativity scene sounds amazing 😂
