Fantastic work! Cleanly built, and the paint and weathering is gorgeous. I found inspiration particularly, in your weather...would love to see a play-by-play explanation of your techniques and paints. The top turret machinegun really caught my appreciative eye!!!

If I remember correctly, I painted the top machinegun in a dark gunmetal color. I used a bit of Citadel Nuln Oil (basically a dark wash) all over the MG afterwards. I then drybrushed a bit of the gun metal color back to highlight certain areas. This is similar to what Games Workshop recommends for their Warhammer 40k guns basically :)
