After priming it with citadel chaos black and letting it dry out for 2 days it was painted using vallejo air acrylics colors and I used the salt weathering technique

uhmm....a small candle in an aluminium cup, often used to keep teapots warm, but also used just as candles.

perhaps not common in all countries, but Ikea has them for instance.

 

Tough times for Greece at the moment. I heard tourism is getting better...it's a start.

I wish you best of luck
