Thinking of making some Frostgrave/WWII-era winter buildings. I know Dave Graffam has two with snow effects. I possess no PS skills or program. I was pondering an airbrush.

For light snow, using a glue or varnish that doesn't dry too shiney, paint iton the areas you want the snow, then sprinkle something like talcum power or a white plaster of paris/wall-filer. For heavier snow, mix the powder in with white paint. And for the really heavy stuff you can get in central and northern Europe, you can eithe just paint to whole roof white, but leave a dark adge around sticking up things like chimneys, or, if you want to show the depth of the snow, just get thick whit card and cut it to fit over the roof, with cutouts for chimneys.

There is an airbrush tool in gimp (free program). Import the Pdf and go to town. You can adjust size and transparency. It is less risky than a real airbrush because if you go too far you can click "undo."

Make sure to put some thought into where you apply the snow-like substance. Real snow obviously falls from above and settles on the top of things while vertical and covered surfaces don't receive any at all. It sounds like a banal thing but it can make or break the effect.
