Nice job Erik...

Take this as a compliment: the wheels and back of the tank - is that painted on or actual dirt weathering? Looks like your tank has taken a few laps around Ft. Benning, Georgia!
I used mig pigment (european dust) as I was applying it, there was a little grease around the turret area, when the pigment hit it, i looked like mud. I was like "WOW that looks good, I wonder" I took the rest of the grease i had and brushed it on in areas, then applyed the pigment. I brushed and dabbed to get the slashed and splotched on look of the mud. only things is that since it is grease, it wont dry all the way. I just need a way to seal it so it stays that way and not rub off.
