Impressive so far, but and there’s always a bit with these things, are you going to match up the tracks and wheels as you story says it was found in woodlands. What it didn’t say was where these boggy woodlands in which case a nice coating of dark mud brown and muddy clumps till your satisfied would see you right. Or a dry woodlands in which case several different layers of weathering will be required for the many different levels of exposure
It’s your tank it’s what you make it

I was orignally goin to call it valhalla with the word valkery painted on its barrel but changed the name to draugr i chose tht name cuz i got thinkin this kv1 has been sitting in this wooded area for so long tht it is brought back to live once the friends found it so it would be like a reanimated corpseor revenant. I was thinkin of adding some woodland debris to the tank to give it a more abandoned look as for the tracks and running gear the track rolls over i hvnt figured tht yet and as for the mud idea i have some vallegeo brand tuff tht allows me to add mud to a model ( like my T34-85) i have. here some pics of wat i am talkin about on th t34 if u notices the clumps on the body parts that is the stuff im talkin about it come in thick paste like stuff and light stuff just like paint awell.
