Back at it, amongst other things too.   So, all that salt needs to be removed now.

With a good, stiff bristled brush to brush and somewhat stipple the the granules of salt away. If they become stubborn and problematic, a damp (not wet) brush should loosen it up and knock it away.

Next I do want to more or less wet the area I want to chip and scrub.

Using the stiff bristled brush again, I stipple, scrub, stab pick away at the paint as the water softens the layers of color.

In nooks and crannies you will need to detail the water into the crevasses. If the paint is being stubborn or it has been a day or so from the time of painting, some aggressiveness will be needed.   I suggest mixing some standard alcohol with water 50/50 for starters. With a fine tip brush use it like a pin wash ion the area you wish to remove. Then a little scrub with a cotton swab (bud) or stipple with a brush and the lovely rust color will begin to show through in the crack.

With a nice collection of unsalted model pieces I chose to run a filter of sorts over everything. This blends some colors and brings other out, not to mention cleaning up the whole salting mess. Remember that you want to run just a filter, not a wash. This is more thinner than color. You can always run more coats if you think it is needed. I only applied one using AK's Brown Blue Wash.   I did not fully mix the contents. You can get the same result from mixing oil paint with thinner between 60% and 80% thinner to paint. You are just blending the color with this coat.

This is what this looks like with the chipping complete and one filter applied.
