I like it! Way better than I could do.

That's a really nice job. The only thing I can think of to work on is to look at drilling out the barrels of heavy bolters. The weathering you've done looks very, very nice.

I really like what you did, I like the concrete look to it. The only thing I might do is add some rust streaks down the rivets of the metal pieces, like you see on older modern buildings.

Those transfers are REALLY noticeable.

Some tips:

Get a bit of foam (I recommend the stuff you get with a blister pack), pull some off until it makes an irregular corner, and then dab some paint onto the transfers, matching whatever color the transfers were put on. This will give it a chipped/weathered effect. Make sure the foam has only a little paint, wipe it off until it's drybrush-quality.

Buy some paintable clear matte finish and give those transfers a good coat once the model's done. It will help eliminate the shine when doubled with a matte spray like Dullcote.

Yea ill probably dull down the transfers when i get some time to do a bit of painting.

THe weathering around the base of the tower is done by airbrushing thin layers of old GW flesh wash, chestnut ink and a final layer of green ink.

the door is boltgun metal with a very heavy wash of babad black and then some light dusting as above but kept low on the door.

I didn't do more rust streaks as it was getting late and im not very good at doing fine work with my airbrush.
