Default 1/6 Hoth Luke WIP

I've been inspired by the Hoth Han's of late, so I thought I'd take a crack at Luke. This is what I have so far, BBI body, SS gauntlets, Hasbro every thing else. Next will be a repaint of the head and weathering of the uniform,cap and gloves. Any ideas how to simulate snow on the uniform?

I love the gloves they came out looking amazing. As for fake snow im not sure tbh, maybe you can use Scenic Snow from Deluxe Materials, thats what most railway and military dio makers use. I have a kit of it for my AT-AT, when i get round to doing it.

.... snow hummm tough one. I think Chakaman did a great job with his Hoth Han... I am sure he would be able to suggest something. White chalks maybe...

The SS Glove are so good. I wish I could get some for my Han and Luke, and Luke pilot and my Tie pilots..... hummm

Yeah, I used white pastels grinded up and brushed/sprinkled into the jacket. Looks great.

Mate Luke is looking great and I really like the gloves that you used and as for snow you have a few choices.

1: Woodland scenics snow (hobby shops in rail way section)
2: Games workshop snow (Games worksop retail shops)
3: plaster of paris sprinkled thru a sivve.
4: baking soda and sprinkled thru a sivve

Thanks for all the tips guys, i was going to try those spray on snow for your windows, these are much more cheaper alternatives. Keep you all posted on my progress, still working on the repaint and weathering.

Ok, this is what he looks like now. I've repainted the head, gear and uniform. Added the Sideshow boots, belt and saber. Still need to snow him up and work on his Taun Taun. Not totally happy with the head repaint, but a humble beginning.
