Also, Massive Voodoo pretty much has the best tutorials on damn near everything. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinncent Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Thank you very much for your advice, but still I wonder, is there an easier way without using water effect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truefaith Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Cutting the tips off these might work. http://www.amazon.com/Palace-Iridescent-Twisted-Christmas-Garland/dp/B0040T1ZM4 just a suggestion, I have never used them before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 You could also do it with regular old Woodland Scenics Water Effect product and seran wrap. This is the product I use to make realistic looking wet snow (by adding Snow Flock), shallow icy puddles, bulbous ice and water run offs on rocks. It will be softer than the methods recommended above but because of it should be a tad more durable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eudaimon Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 I haven't read the links, but the way I make mine with is Araldite. just squeeze some in strips onto a piece of blister, then cut to suit. You can see the effect in my Raspy blog in my sig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinncent Posted June 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 This is the effect I mean, could you write me exactly what Araldite product is it? it's a glue or some other weight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinncent Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Ok, here is my attempt to make icicles: I used to make them transparent plastic-thin sections, and clear nail polish from my girlfriend. It seems to me that the effect is quite tolerable for such a simple method. p. s. Don't say anything to my girlfriend What you think?

Omenbringer Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Those look very good and most importantly realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordZombie Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 That is some nice looking ice. When I move to Arcanist, I will have to keep this thread in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
