You can make a snow scene to photograph Breyer Mini Whinnie and micro mini scale models using just a few simple props found around the house. Snow scenes are some of the most difficult to create; realistic snow footing in the micro mini scale can be especially problematic. If you have micro mini Artist Resins, Creata Minis or Breyer Mini Whinnies, you can use this diorama to take model horse show photographs. This setup takes about half an hour to make, photograph, and finish.

A photo backdrop suitable for creating this snow scene for smaller scale miniature horses can be found here: Snow Scene With Barn available as a downloadable pdf (acrobat reader) file. For best results, print out a copy on photo paper at a resolution of 150 ppi.
