Nice job there. I think the weathering you are referring to is the paint chipping. There are many ways of doing this. Some people will use a fine brush and paint the chips. Others prefer silver pencils or pens and drawing.
Another technique is to spray the high traffic areas with an aluminium or silver finish before the camo colours are applied and to use salt or sand or blobs of liquid mask to "mask" chipped areas. After the camo is applied the salt or whatever is rubbed off to reveal the "metal" beneath.
I found it hard to get scale chipping this way 'though I know some people get good results.
I now spray the silver/aluminium or sometimes the primer colour and then the camo colour.
I can then sand this back to reveal as much or as little of the underlying "metal" as I want.
Chips can be made with the end of a blade or needle.
I'm sure others will have their own methods. There are many ways of skinning a cat!
Hope this helps
