I like it a lot.  Just enough mud underneath and on the right top, rear deck and side rails to show loading/unloading in the field.

Nice finish. Please describe this 'salt effect' you've achieved.

 

 

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

As to the salt effect: I used Flory's Light Wash (it's an off white) and Vallejo Titanium White Pigments along the edges and sides where I thought salt spray and salt water would pool, evaporate and make those salt streaks and salt lines. In a few spots I had to tone down the Titanium White with some Vallejo Light Yellow Ochre Pigments.

Looks really good. I too like the salty look.
