Oh...  And how do you get rid of the salt with all of those features?  I've only been bold enough to use salt on the wings of an aircraft thus far.

Coat of clear in order to seal the surface so it doesn’t look like Verlinden style build. ( no pun intended)

still wet

[GazzaS]

Looks awesome, Martin!  I really ;like the patina you've given it.

[Martinnfb]

Thank You Gas, this is the base coat for the vehicle itself, next step is going to be the dust and then, scuffs on tires.  And the last part are water/wet stains.  The vehicle seems to be relatively clean, so as the road. I also ordered metal barrels, so there will be some more detailing to come, but not much.

Thank You for your support.]Cheers

It is very easy process, simply steady flow of warm water in the kitchen sink washed it all off, just like that.

Great progress there Martin. Can't wait to see you work on the base.

Walkway pavers were replaced with cobblestone as it is visible on the picture. Again green stuff putty and roller were so helpful.

I need to do something about that lamppost in order-to bring some action. Peeing dog? Hanging collaborator?

I like this one as they can be kids watching the troops go by.

Or simple gratitude...

From the sublime

To the ridiculous

Or somewhere inbetween.

[Martinnfb]

Thanks for the pictures Steve, First picture is extremely powerful , but I can't reproduced crowded street. I am looking for something simple. A water break, soldiers buying local vine, fruit or services of the local leisure centre. 2 -3 figures at most.

Thanks Carl, I like that one that one as well. Also kids use to play this weird swing ball  game at the time.

[Martinnfb]

Something like this?

[Wumm]

Yes, that's good...

But more joy... Perhaps a Madame with the old Man? Or with a hand on his shoulder, clutching the Tricolour to her bosom.
