Looking pretty sweet Ross . Only suggestions I would have - never having built an ice/ snow covered diorama before , is to check out some of the amazing videos on YouTube .
Some truly beautiful examples are to be found , and to possibly add some ‘ dips & peaks ‘ along with the straight horizontal lines you’ve made using a comb :thumbsup , along the walls !?
As for the Dk.gray simulating dust and dirt , maybe ... pooled up along the edges and floor ?
My thinking ( probably wrong ) , is that even with engines running and exhaust fumes going everywhere , seeings how the base is hollowed out of Ice - the walls would be constantly self cleaning .
That is , the outermost layer of ice is melting at various rates depending on the temperature , with new ‘ clean ‘ layers forming underneath , especially on the vertical surfaces .
If you’re wanting to break up the block white , perhaps applying various ‘ off - white ‘ shades of colour around areas most susceptible to dirt & grime collecting could help ?
Again , having no firsthand experience of snow & ice environments , I could be speaking out of my - you know what !.. apologies in advance if I’ve done so !:lol
