hi guy's,
I’ve heard about the "salt chipping" technique, but I would like to know how it works and what result you get.
Could you please let me know?
Thnx
:-)

Go here to see the process. https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/14721&page=1 I hope this will help youa little bit.

If you go to the Rivet Review Forum, I posted pictures on my KV 1 with the sea salt on her. Let you know more as I progress.

I did the salt technique on my Ferdinand. There is a pic of it in my gallery. It's a very simple proceedure and the results are really good. Just paint the model with the primer grey first and add the salt with a wet toothpick or brush. Be sure to use the Kosher salt as it has the big irregular crystals. Paint the rest of the model as usual when the salt has dried on. One the paint is dry just rub off the salt.

I used the salt technique on one of my models, but after it was painted, the paint came out very bad-it was lighter around the salt particles, I suspect I didn't give the salt enough time to dry. Drying time is very important, I advice to leave the model for at least 24 hours to dry

As Paul states use Sea Salt. You can apply it with your fingers to specific spots. It holds fairly well to the hull and road wheels. I am going to finish the MM Topside Green painting this weekend and will post some shots of her afterwards.
