Thats funny I am in the process of weathering my Tank I bought 2 books from Barnes and Noble on weathering and painting the Tiger I tank. Though I am building a King Tiger the weathering process works for all Tanks really.

Dry wall spakling and burnt Umber oil paint. I mixed it before I added it to the tank,so any chipping would not leave white spots behind. Then I dry brushed the "MUD" with Tamiya Flat earth paint. Looks much better in person.
