I do a Mr. Freeze cosplay. He is a fun character. It is a good costume to wear if you want your picture taken a lot. Horrible for shopping or trying to get things done.
One of his props is a snow globe. I broke mine at Wizard World. So I set about to remake it.
When you make a snowglobe. According to other people on the internet, it is best to use distalled water. So nothing grows in it.
One the figure is finished I plastic cemented her down. Then epoxy over that. Then a big thick continous bead of plastic cement around the perimeter for the dome. Once that is dry time to add water. The hole is really small really really small. I found some cheap dollar store squirt guns worked well to pull the air out. And the base held a little bit of water. So using the squirt gun to pull the air out, I had it filled in about 1/2 hour.
I didn't realize until this step, but the shellac on the figure reacted with the plastic cement fumes and was turned a little white-ish. I can't fix it now. So, I guess I like it, she looks more frozen-ish.
I also put grip tape or skate board deck tape on the bottom to help me hold it. My gloves make everything slippery.
