Thanks mostrich, Kari, and Stikpusher!

mostrich--

I've seen bits of Rinaldi's work before- his stuff is very good! I might just try more than one technique ;) Been too hot and humid to do much spraying here- but I do have a couple different salts I might try in some areas- some pink Himalayan and some pickling salt I grabbed today to can some pickles from the garden...might prove interesting!

Stikpusher-- I can only imagine the chaos it must've been there in the 90s...my wife and I visited there 8 years ago (?) during when the Summer Olympics were in China. We were there with a group from church doing a two week missions trip-- helped with some projects and met lots of great people in Sarajevo, Breza, Mostar, and Zenica until we flew out of Dubrovnik. I can imagine it was not so pretty during the war- but despite all the remnants of the war we saw, it is a beautiful country. When I saw this was a tank that was part of their repertoire, I wanted to try to model it...
