death korps mars alpha leman russ right side

first tank in my death korps army that i will showcase here as and when, it's a forgeworld mars alpha leman russ, wanted to give it a weathered look without going overboard, enjoyed creating the rust and i think it came out really well, added a couple of rusting buckets, ammo and fuel holder to side with scrathbuilt holder rusting chains extra fuel drum with pipe leading into engine, hand painted flag with purity seals and guitar wire airealand a couple packs and rolls also added spare tracks with holder made from plasticard and minature modelling nuts and bolts, once i have worked out new camera i will compile some close up detail shots. in time i am going to make a desplay board which will have a muddy road leading to a iron bridge with the tanks i do in convoy with trenches either side for dug in infantry and on higher level dug in artillary. at the moemnt i am thinking early autumn foliage with the first sprinkling of snow just fallen so may add small amounts of snow to tanks at a later date when i decide comments and ideas very welcome, thanks

I agree with the comment below. Just looks like a regular table top blue grey with a nice complimentary weathering job in the orange\brown

honestly it looks weathered but the thing is before you wether something you have to make it clean before you wether. it looks like a terrible painted tank that is weathered well so it isent much more then table top for me. unless the pictures are deceiving me.

Actually I think you went quite overboard with the weathering:) This thing is not just weathered - it looks like it was fighting in some acid pit for a century. Very nice effect overall. Gradations on rust and texturing is very realistic. I would dull down exposed metallic parts as well, I think they are a bit too shiny.
