That technique is stunning. After you know how it’s done, you’ll likely recognize the clues to the process in the image, but the effect is incredibly convincing.

And… hey, what? What’s wrong with stormtroopers in cereal bowls!? :D

What Fred said. Cool pictures become even more impressive with a peek behind the curtain. Reminds me of the old SFX method of filming avalanches.

@ndsrapid: moderatly exposing Lego to ice/snow probably doesn’t damage Lego too badly, although it should not be encouraged for Mindstorms sets.
However, in this case it’s a moot point, as you will see when you check Avanaut’s actual technique for creating these pictures;-)

Awesome creation.
Can ice/snow damage those lego elements?
