I am definitely not an expert but...
The weathering on armor where there is so much contract and highlighting
seems very forced and more artistic than anything else. The impression that
I get from looking at pictures is that you take this big nonking tank, hook
him up with 5 or 20 of his buddies and run him down an unpaved road and
what you have is a pretty uniform coloration from the dust sort of blending
eveything together. My Suburbas gets like that. Just sorta dirty all over,
unless it rains and it streaks.
Well just my opinion.
