More please and a tutorial :D

Its dead easy to do.

Just stick a grey version under the sand colour and erase the yellow.

I just used the base art from CMBB.

So i may be a bit stuck when it comes to doing anything not in CMBB but it covers most of the early war german stuff

Okay, here's my opinion--OUTSTANDING! A very realistic "worn look" and I love how the base grey becomes exposed at the edges. Yep, I'll enjoy any and all mods that have this effect. Good to see you back in action! Bravo! :D

I'm wondering where the most wear would fall on a weathered vehicle. I've seen picts where it looks like most of the top half of the tank has its yellow sandblasted away! For your 8-rad, perhaps a bit more around the side hatches, maybe on the engine deck where they'd walk, corners of the fenders where they'd put their hands?

Ach! You're making ME want to do a weathered vehicle now! :D;)

Does any body know what colour the brits used as a base layer.

Would some be painted oloive drab and then painted yellow over this.

As an old beat up british lorry would look good like this.

You might want to check out my weathered Valentine III at CMMODS.COM fro a few weeks ago. Brit light tan over factory green (I did mine like yours, using my old CMBB Russian Val III mod for the show-through layer). Less worn-out by sand-blasting and more by foot traffic.

Check this out:
