I was envisioning an Anthill Mob style of propulsion with legs running on the ground

Good to know. 
Here is where I am at today and my current plan.
Added some vegetation and more mud/grass to address some spots.
Letting that dry before I add Vallejo Splash Mud, pigments, thinned buff coat and steel color top of track, then a light new rust color in spots.
Glossed the gun in preparation for some brown panel liner, true metal old bronze on the emblem above the door, dull coat then a thinned buff sprayed along the bottom.

I am sure at times when removing from the carriage it looked like that.

Looking good!

Count all you want and ask Venko if your correct as I don’t have enough fingers and toes to count that high. I feel bad enough covering up that detail for the emplacement.

Except for the rails and a few leaves, I am going call the done. I think another light coat of buff but with my luck I will mess it up.
I don’t know why with filter/wash thing is so hard for me. Course being an idiot does help. I thought I would add water to the Vallejo product, that seemed to be fine. Using a paint cup with thinned gel gloss in it already was just dumb. 
Back to the paint booth for one more try then it is what it is.

Glad you said that 
… seriously though, such a neat little build. Ground work and the base look lovely, not overdone. Great work

Thanks Erwin……unfortunately it feels the light is a train and lights out.

You are too gloomy!I think you are once again your own worst critic.

Maybe….but I think we can all agree the weathering on the bottom row is not right and at best case not consistent with the rest of turret.

You could try some mud splashes and pigment dusting to get an more coherent look with the base?

Not a bad idea but not an option.

What’s your take on general colour(s?) & will yours be new-ish or well-used? Hard to tell from the few photos I’ve seen what’s going on, seems to be several variations but no camo for when on the move – presumably they just scrubbed local soil onto the turret when emplaced?
Just to chuck a weathering suggestion into the ring – up-end the turret, wet the whole drum with whatever medium appropriate for the paint (removing actual drips) & then trail whatever weathering colour around the base. It should gradually dilute as it creeps down the drum fairly irregularly. It’s usually apparent after a few seconds if it’s going to look any good, quickly wash or paper-towel off if it’s a dud.

The Bulgarian emplacement it will be a Grayish-Green/Feldgrau color. This one is sorta like the Greek museum piece and light grey. My plan was newish turret, maybe one that spent a season or two outside between the factory/storage and garrison.
