Hear Ye hear ye...
I am in need of some help. I am building for a local lego store's comunity window. My month is december! I need to start stockpileing parts for snow and would like it if you could start a list of good parts to have. I will be bricklinking parts starting next month. The theme of my build you ask? Holidays in medevil times...
Thanks for your help,
Curt

Small plates and tiles are helpful as well. White and trans clear cheese also.

Hey curt! I have never built any snow scenes myself but here are some pieces along with the suggestion above that might be useful...As long as they are in white. 
Slope 6x1 Slope 6x2 Slope 4x1   
Also the normal pieces that we use for rockwork as long as they are in white, would look great for a rocky, snow covered look. As AK said to trans clear can look good for melting snow or icicles. On particular MOC that came to my mind was This one by the JJ Bros It had a good combination of snow and rock-scaping and highlights some useful pieces.
Hope this helps,
Sir Valiant~ |

Valiant's ideas are what I would have gone with, too, as well as white tiles here and there to create the 'unbroken snow' look. If it's a scene in an area where lots of people walk, use more studs, but if it's a very quiet area, use more tiles. I've never built a snow scene that I've uploaded to Flickr, but this is the way I think it's done a lot of the time.  |

Looking through the Garheim Flickr group will probably give you a lot of good ideas.

In my experience, I think that a mix of all the pieces previously mentioned and the use of wedge plates and tiles create the perfect effect. Take some of General JJ's creations, namely this one: www.flickr.com/photos/62404662@N04/11678367233/ |
