I like this method, seems to allow more controlled than the hair spray method. Plus i like that it can be used with any kind of paint. Thanks for the tip FSM.
So the hair dryer prevents the salt from dissolving, and thereby prevents this technique from creating a crappy splotchy look? The one time I tried this, it was with Tamiya acrylics and the salt pieces created splotches.
I learned this trick in FSM over 15 years ago. It's a great and simple way
To chipping your models, especially
Japanese World War 2 aircrafts.
Nice job with the instruction it definitely looks like a fairly easy process
Thanks for that tip
This is a good and useful technique, and well demonstrated. I've used it quite successfully on some of my larger science fiction sculptures.

You're welcome!
"...a well seasoned finish". I see what you did there 😂👍
Tasty!
Well 'seasoned', rubbing salt into the wound there :)
That would be a salt, and we're not into that.
Quick and excellent review of the technique - thanks!
Thanks. I will give this a go. Rock salt for 1/16 armour maybe?
Cheers 🦘

Right. You want the the salt to keep a crystalline form, not dissolve.
👍👍👍👍
But if you are modelling an old Sailor, you may not be able to get all the salt off! ;-D Thanks for the tips!!

salt chipping is so hard to control - they blow off easily
