It wont take much with this one. In my limited experience, I would say that some dark, focused washes around the features like the bolts, seams and edges will do this tank wonders. It looks great now. It won't take much to bring it up a few notches.

Hey Daktari :D ....It's been awhile... Your project came out great... as far as weathering... since it's so difficult to write anything down with any semblance of suggestive measure.... I would say use the same technique you would on a Steam engine .... or box car......a few washes and some dry brush... and maybe some dust fades just to highlight the work and the zimmerit ....Nice job on the camo pattern :thumbup:
