Have you checked your wife’s craft box lately?
I searched the forum and found that many of you guys are familiar wife Delta and Krylon Craft paints but I wondered if you had seen their other offerings.
Delta do a FANTASTIC snow product, in fact a whole range of snows of different textures. Check them out here.

And Krylon do a range of spray paints that simulate concrete and other stone type textures. See the range ehre. I thought these would be great for dios and scene building.
Here is a link to the colours

On a safety warning… please discuss fully beforehand any thought of even looking at your wifes craft items. Do have valid life insurance. Please have a paramedic on hand before and during the conversation. (Don’t worry about afterwads as one will be called automatically by a neighbour)
Hope you guys find this interesting. I have used both items for various other projects (warhammer mostly… just got back into real life 
)
