No pics - but comments;

I started trying to remove the salt, and it's not as easy to remove as I'd hoped. It seems stuck on pretty good, and while it comes off okay with a hobby knife, it doesn't come off well at all with a toothbrush, which is what I was hoping for. The hobby knife requires a lot more care, as you can remove more than you're trying to remove. I spent at least a half-hour last night working to remove the salt from one of the rhinos, and I don't think I got it all yet. I'll get some pics of examples up soon, but this next step might take a while before it is all done...

Any news on how the slow salt removal has been going? I'm really keen to see if this is a viable way of weathering for my vehicles as it sounds great!

Hey Frodo, how's your finger?

Actually, I've been doing some experimentation with different processes. I think it is best to establish what I'm going to do across the whole army up-front.

That said, I'm kind of moving towards the following:

Take the dheneb stone guys, and paint on some of the detail work. I'm using Adeptus Battle gray for much of this. I'm also going to get the exposed guts and nastyness with some oranges and purples.

After that, wash the whole model with devlan mud. Then I'm going to go back over the large surface area plates with a 50/50 mix of kommando khaki and white - it's a good off-white colour that doesn't have the same yellowing tint that bleached bone mixes have.

And then, after all that, I'll remove the rest of the salt, so that I don't lose the chipping/cracking when I build back up the off-white colour.

I just joined this site cause of you and had dream like a year a go of making this have not finished mine would like to do something like this. Im going to get back into mine again (=

This is relly nice work , the best ive ever seen , cant wait to see more.

Now THIS is the way all Nurgle Marines should have been done!

Wow, this thread is really tight, this work is awesome and I respect how organized and methodical everything is!
The pics are very specific and give a good view into your methods. I look forward to more updates, this project is destined for greatness!
