SALT CHIPPING - SCALE MODEL HOW TO GUIDE

I also used flour, believe it or not, didn't have salt at hand 😅.

Margarita salt works great as well.

Awesome!! What rust brand is good to buy ?

Wow I had no idea the salt technique was a thing, this can save so much time

I know theres a very little chance of this question being snwered on such an old video but can you do this if you dont own an airbrush?

Thanks. I have very lightly sanded with 1200 sandpaper the rust brown color and got a very nice mottled finish .

Can this be done with brush painting?

I thought hairspray was needed to achieve this effect using salt, especially with water based paints. Am I wrong?

Good technic how rust tutorial for scale models , thanks for sharing

This is gangster!

add salt to taste.

Short clip, simple method. No bloody waving hands, talking heads. Just pure information.

Sir, yes beetel look amzing!

can this method be done with any type of paint? acrylic/enamal/etc

That works on Metal and Plastic?

Absolutely perfect!!

Good

Great job! I like it very much! Greetings from Functional model building Munich Uli

This is very useful also for model plane such as WW2 Japanese planes

I Subscribed!!! The detail you put on every work is incredible!!! And one question. Can you please tell me which airbrush do you use?

Do worry if the air dislodges some of the salt. I don't know yet for sure, but I suspect little salt grains got into my airbrush and are causing severe paint clogging. I will keep you posted on what I find out. Great results from salt chipping, but any methods you can use to keep all minute salt grains in place, and from being around painting area. Just one micro salt grain in the airbrush can make you wish you never built models

So awesome! Many thanks for share!

Where to buy the models?

Completely demystied an amazing technique. Thank you so much.

Brilliant channel please review dempster trains and subscribe

Wow! That looks amazing! I was bought some rust washes today so I may try this out!

Amazing! Will try this out, as im not satisfied with my own results.

I've been making model cars for 20 years. Its only been the last couple years i started really getting into distressed and wrecked. I did body work for years, and everything had to be perfect. Its quite fun to do the same but opposite process. Thanks for this tip.

Nice Technique! Thanks... will be doing this on a WPL B36 RC!!

Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing

Skill level 100 ! So f'ing awesome. Looks amazing.

This is fantastic. Would it work on laser cut MDF? I know water and MDF don't mix but there will be minimal exposure and it's already been primed with Halfords grey primer. I have previously ballasted the baseboards with 'a lot' of water on top of primed MDF baseboards with no adverse effects. It is a girder bridge on a model railway and I think will look great weathered like this.

Very helpful .
Cool video. Mike Espo .

Hey, I just found your channel, searching for weathering techniques and here I am. Great tips for beginners like me. I do makeovers on my channel. Mostly 1:64 scale stuff. I'm subbing to your channel today (#57.7K +1) and hitting the notification bell for future updates. Greetings from Switzerland - Andrew

I love the gauze tip and btw the salt method was known for at least 30 years. Well done compact video, I must say.

Very good video ... I like it! You have interesting content.

As a beginner I would have liked to know what primer it was and what you sealed the rust layer with. I realise this is probably obvious to anyone who has done this for a while. Loved the video though. Thank you.

RePriMo Wargame Terrain, so take a look please :)

amazing! would have bet the salt was used to rub away the blue top coat but it was the opposite way round with the top coat on top of the salt! I think I would be way too scared to try this on my 15mm tanks though

Fantastic.

Can you be so kind to give me what air brush machine you have and paints brand you use thank you so much this video is awesome

Great and informative video thanks for sharing your technique. 👍🏼😃

Es genial. Gracias.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

So interesting and handsome

I like the idea of a real layer of paint pealing up to reveal beaten metal underneath. I remember the very popular Honda Prelude from the early 80's with it's rack and pinion steering. But it's paint job was a joke, exposing pale metal and undercoat only a few years after it's purchase. They all had this look. No, I do not want to celebrate that with the paint peel technique. I'm thinking old neon signs.....

Great educational value in this video. Kudos to you, Sir. Now for a question for you and the audience. Does anyone have a source for the sponge used in applying the rust coating? I'm stumped!

Can I do it with a Tamiya Spray Can?
