First try at weathered wood

So this is my first serious attempt to finish a weathered wood. It will be a loose interpretation of a single photo I saw showing a captured Sherman being used by the Germans, presumably as a tow vehicle or something. I scratched up the roof out of balsa, some scrap hinges and a wire handle. Painted in grey with an overall wash of Burnt umber then a pin wash of paynes grey.
