                        This one is nearing completion. I am going to load it up with "bits and pieces" as supply truck.

                        I still have some weathering to do.

                        Any tips on what colors to use to simulate scratches?

                        Thanks for looking and I am open to all tips to improve.

                        Well those didn't come out well.

                        Any tips on what colors to use to simulate scratches over gray?

                        i suggest black or gunmetal if scratch goes through to bare metal, a rust color if it has aged.

                        Armornut's suggestions sound good to me.

                        Nice work so far!

                        Cant see your tiny photos, but I would recommend light gray for scratches over gray. Dark colors demand lighter shades for scratches, not necessarily darker ones. The dark ones usually don't show up very well.
