Hlow do you like your armour?

In anticipation of the fast upcomming M1 tank build, I was just curious how other modellers out there like to proceed in building their tank kits.

I generally assemble the lower hull completely, sans wheels and tracks
Paint lower hull
Paint wheels and road tires (if any)
Mount wheels, then do the whole 'chipped paint' step on the whole lower hull.
Upper hull build next, basecoat, wash, then chip paint
Same steps with turret.
Assemble/paint tracks and mount onto wheels.

After all these steps, I'll assemble and paint all the accessories, such as towing cables, externally mounted tools, etc.

Then into the overall weathering process, such as an overall wash and drybrush, dust coat, 'dirtying' of the mud guards, etc.

I've seen a few people out there build up the entire model (tracks and all). I personally am not good enough of a painter to do this, so I do the subassemblies.
I was just wondering what the rest of you out there are doing
