G'day NV, Thanks for running those chipping tests for us. Unfortunately, 'Marmite' is slightly different down here in Australia, it's a bit more like the 'infamous' Vegemite that we Aussies like spread on hot toast and freshly buttered bread. Still, I will give it a try. Chipping is another modelling effect that, especially on aircraft models, is widely over done. Heavy chipping on armour models is great and appropriate to the reality of tanks and field guns etc. Of course, in these modern times we don't see WW2 aircraft with chipping at all because most of what we can see are museum pieces which are, generally, freshly painted and highly polished; only as they would have been right out of the factories back in the 40s. I like to do chipping around all of the aircraft panels that the ground crews would have accessed on a daily or regular basis; this is, logically, where most of the chipping would occur, apart from some kinds of minor battle damage. That's why I tend to go lightly with overall chipping on my WW2 era models. Still, it is a matter for each modeller to do the level of effects they are comfortable with on their models. It's very helpful to see different kinds of chipping techniques. I tried small grains of salt and that seemed to work more authentically than large flakes of sea salt. I've not tried hairspray simply because me wife doesn't use it. I also use a range of carbon and coloured pencils in certain areas which can be an alternative to some panel line washes. Thank you NV! Cheers, BH
I have always been questioning myself what Marmite is really good for ... thank you for this great video! ;-)
Excellent tutorial amigo follow your steps thanks for sharing 🙏😁

Thank you!
I'll try smaller grains of salt.
love the music
Very good but the music is a distraction.
