As the paint was dry enough, I don't waited until tomorrow and removed the maskol today.

Better to use maskol (from Humbrol) than neo (from Gunze) because the last one is harder to remove (better adherence; in such a case it's not an advantage)

OK, it's a new technique for me; I'm really happy with that but I think experience will permit a better use

Very nice! I like techniques such as this because of the "randomness" of the chipping, sometimes when applying the chips by brush or a silver pencil you can sort of fall into a pattern that is not so random. Hope that made some sense?

It might be nice to add this paint-chipping method to Sall's "Some modeling techiques" sticky thread!
