Can I get a quick tutorial on the salt technique please?  My War Wheels build's getting really close to the paint stages, and it seems to be a really popular technique.

-What does it simulate? paint chipping, surface relief, etc.?

-At what paint stage should it be applied?

-How do you do it?

Looks like you're not letting what sound to be like pretty common Tomcat kit complaints get you down, grobber.  Looks good so far!

Thanks in advance for the quick tutorial everyone, and happy modelling!  ;D
