View · Overview

Product overview

AK8037 is intended for the last phase of a snowfall and the onset of thaw on vehicles, accessories or diorama surfaces. It can be placed selectively where the scene needs late snow detail, then combined with wet effects to connect it visually with melting areas. AK also gives the product a separate modelling use: recreating the appearance of broken glass, including shattered glazing on a vehicle.

Pack volume: 100 ml
Hold it down with white glue, a varnish or a scenic fixative
Combine it with AK Puddles for different dirty-snow effects
It can be combined with other snow textures and varnishes

Notes · Q & A

What is the difference between texture pastes, water effects and resin waters?

Texture pastes are spreadable acrylic products for building ground, snow and similar surfaces in thin or thick layers. Acrylic water effects are self-levelling liquids, while resin waters are two-part epoxies that require resin and hardener to be mixed at a 2:1 ratio.

How thick a layer can I apply?

Ground and snow pastes may be applied in thin or thick layers; crackle textures need a thin layer, with its thickness affecting the crack size. Keep Still Water to 1–2 mm per layer and Puddles to no more than 3 mm, building greater depth through repeated layers.

How long do these textures take to dry?

AK quotes 24 hours for ground textures and resin water, and 2–4 hours for Snow Sprinkles, with drying affected by the amount applied and the ambient temperature. Crackle textures have no stated time, although AK says a hairdryer can speed the process.

Can I thin these products, and what should I use?

The acrylic textures can be diluted with water or acrylic thinner to improve their flow. Two-part resin waters are not thinned with water; mix the resin and hardener at the stated 2:1 ratio.

Can I paint or add pigments after the texture has dried?

The suitable method depends on the product. Still Water can be tinted with acrylic paint, while dry corrosion and ground textures can take pigments to adjust their colour and surface variation.
