That looks like a cool kit,I would give it a weathered paint job with a little rust around the wheel wells,that would look cool!

I tried with aluminum from a soda can. My fingers didn't look good lol. Getting the shape is the difficultpart for me.

Would baby powder work as snow on a diorama for this. I don't want anything that will attract bugs

Why not? I bet that would work. Maybe hold the baby powder facing up when you squeeze it, so that the powder floats down, ya know?
Word of advice, don't look down at the top of the baby powder when you squeeze it - don't ask me how I know this either, LOL

It should work, and for the shovels this side of the pond we get small square spoons with single person tubs of ice cream that are about the right size, and as a bonus they are model kit type plastic. If you cant get them your side of the pond I can easily send you as many as you would need

Ordered a lighting system for this. It SHOULD have working headlights. This will be a first attempt at this for me. Ordered from ngineering.com
