PapaSmurf630 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Great build. Not really my subject but the salting technique is simply brilliant. Such an amazingly subtle texture you have achieved there. Nice to see someone with such a gutsy approach to this thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shimon101 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 amazing work on this tomcat first time i see someone using salt on a model but it tuned out realy good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VFA-103guy Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 rom- That salt technique is just absolutely amazing!! Great job on this one!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rom Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 wow! thank you for those kind words!! I'm touched! I let the salt around 10-15 minutes after the last coat of paint. I removed the major part of salt with a tissue, above the bathtub. Then to clean it good, i used a wet tissue. I use a brush to remove the last grains bye!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
