This is a very easy effect to achieve. First thing you want to do is make sure the snow base is dry. Once it has completely dried all you need to do is wet the area you want the blood to go pretty good with water. Go ahead and saturate it. Next take a grungy brush and dip it straight into the Tamiya Clear Red paint and touch it to the watered down snow. The water will help the Tamiya red ink spread in a realistic manner.
The initial dab of red will be fairly pale. This is good because in the outer reaches of the blood pool it will start to fade. I added several more dabs to the central area to give the middle a deeper red. Also on rocks and other areas where the snow won’t dillute the blood I added thicker dabs of pure Tamiya clear red to give it a coagulated look. (See rock to the right for a good example).
As you can see it is a really easy process that doesn’t require a lot of materials. Time invested in this is also minimal. On a hardness scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the hardest I would rate this a 1.
