Excellent paint application and very interesting look! Are you trying to do a Zenithal paint effect? Not sure what you are trying to do here as the rear deck has me a little puzzled.
Don't get me wrong, it looks excellent and the skill work is top notch. I am just questioning the shading pattern trying to figure out what you are trying to do.

Not at all, Bob, it's not easy to get bench-time at the moment, so when I do, I get as much done as I can and post it here all together. This Cromwell (and the Marder) has got to this point over a number of short 30-45 minute sessions, it's a bl**dy frustrating way to model, but with the kids off school on Spring Break, that's all I can do.

You trying to catch up with Duke?

Hey Paul, honestly, I'm not certain precisely what I'm trying to achieve as an end-result because I'm quite a way out of my comfort zone here. I found this clip on YT
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJXrpuWOBuM&t=599s
And even tho' this guy works mostly in 1:56, I really like the way his Cromwell turned-out at the end of the project. So, I'm copying as close as I can what he's done without completely understanding the process, just going purely on the aesthetics. I think the key word in all of this is 'experiment'. I may never try this panel-by-panel style again but if I don't try I'll never know, right ?

Hey lookit... I got it finished !!
Thanks as ever for taking an interest - still not fully sold on the 'Modulation Method', but this seems to have come-out OK. Really would like to hear from you folks as to ways to improve or change for the next one - which won't be for a while - Please step-on-up folks let me know what you think.
Until the next one.

Overall it looks great Ian!
I will second what Luiz said the wheels are cleaner than the top part. Take an airbrush, mix some flat clear with some tan paint the same color as that on the top and add the dirt color to the wheels. You don't need any caked on dirt just more "dust".
