Super looking diorama Neale. I love getting inspired by photos or paintings and want to do a similar scene of a Lancaster bomber standing in the snow. What did you use for the snow and the circular base?

Thanks Beany, I glued cardboard to an old CD for the base, covered in grass mat brushed with glue and sprinkled commercial model ‘snow’ over the lot. All a bit trial and error but pleased with the result.
