going great ,
i like the way you have positioned your equipments(bags-net) on the turret .
now you should metalized it :
make the chips and scratches to the paint on the corners and sides of your tank(with silver paint or a hb pencil or graphite powder).

mikeyt-

Looking good on the armour! You have subtle technique. May i suggest picking up a copy of Shep (Shepard) Paine's Building Dioramas and Painting Armour. This guy is a world class modeller in static contests and shares his weathering techniques in very simple but thorough step. his use of washes and dry brush methods are truly 'par excellence'.

Cheers

Here's a link to a nicely done wweathering technique from Missing_Lynx's website. Albeit a rather involved treatise on the subject, it's fairly straightfoward and full of ideas. I suggest sealing the final work with a dull coat of enamel varnish to protect your efforts.
