As mentioned in my previous post I decided to try out the so called "Salt technique" to weathering. Now in almost every How-To I could find your supposed to wash off the Salt with water. Seeing that my Exterminator is made from Cereal box that wasn't exactly an option. Instead I had to deal with brushing the salt off with a stiff brush and gently with a plastic sculpting knife. Here's a close up of the end result.
Now as you can see it wasn't the best of clean up jobs, but it got the job done. I have sense gone back and touched up the couple of white spots but others I've left. I figure once I go back and use weathering powders many of those spots and blemishes will blend away.
Overall, for the first try I don't think it turned out that bad. I learned a bit in the process and will need to remember to not use so much Hairspray next time, as well as spraying a lighter coat of brown. In the picture above the line from where the tape was is quite visible. :)
More to follow... as time allows...
