I tried to take the best methods from the miniature wargaming community and a few extra touches from the scale modeling community to add a bit more interest.
- Prime Black Primer
- Basecoat US Olive Drab , highlight with Green Brown
- Apply decals
- Wash bottom and track areas with 50/50 Muddy Brown and water.
- Paint bogeys with German Camouflage Black Brown , or some other dark brown that looks like rubber...
- Paint tool parts Leadbelcher (or any Gunmetal color), base wood handles in White and overcoat with Snakebite Leather
- Paint Treads Leadbelcher . Wash with 1:1:1:1 mix of Pure Black , Muddy Brown , Typhus Corrosion and water. Paint road wearing surface of tracks bright steel (I used Silver RLM01 Metallic ).
- Varnish
- Add Dark Streaking Grime and Light Rust Wash as desired
- Varnish
