How to make the most REALISTIC ICE and SNOW EFFECT for miniature bases - STEP BY STEP

  • Ice is arguably one of the most challenging scenic base and terrain to replicate during our miniature painters’ journey. There are many products out there that claim to be “realistic,” but I always struggled to use them, at least until I discovered my recipe. In this tutorial, I am showing how to make super realistic ice snowed bases in less than 10 minutes.

    🔮Products I used:
    1️⃣ Extra Heavy Gel by Vallejo, however, any heavy gel does the job! Alternatively, you can use GOLDEN Heavy Gel Gloss

    you can mix the uv resin with paint directly as well. Its good for getting slightly 3d streaks of color. just apply the uv resin and add the smallest drop of paint and slightly/lightly mix it with a toothpick. You can use blue to simulate a crack in the deeper part of the ice or you can actually use a bit of white to simulate trapped air bubbles.

      I'm making a frozen mountain shelf with my ice dragon atop of it. I have ice sickles, small Ivey waterfall with cave behind it. I have snow effects, some wire grass, few scattered areas of small rocks and in some of rock edges I have puddles of frozen water but I'm trying to get a realistic ice effect and maybe use some blue lighting either from base or from dragon pointed down upon a few tents & warriors... Always how it goes though I have 4 unfinished projects.. lol😅

    I made my own little army of Space Wolves. I imagined that they are stationed on an icy planet as their HQ long away and in unknown territory. If their planet was ever attackted my wolves would only attack the enemy when they have the sun in their eyes. Very harsh conditions to live on the planet and inhabitans needs special equipment to stay alive. As you guessed... i got a winter theme (surprise). I imagine my marines hidden in the snow and walk out of the glaciers like they are one. I really struggle with getting my bases cool and bro.... these are absolutly astonnishing! I am so in love with this technique!
    May i bow and follow your lead on winterthemes!
