So what kind of base for the thing?
Only thing I might say and not a bad thing is try Vallejo Periscope from the Panzer Aces range on the periscopes looks good but if you already did it then forget that then.
the base will be a german village with an abandoned 8.8cm Pak 43, somewhen late april 1945
for the periscope, I used some vallejo color plus varnish
but the result is much more realistic - I think - in real than on the pictures
difficult to capture the depth of something which is glossy

What did you use for the weathering?
first the texture on the lower hull is a "home made" mixture : sawdust, sand, oakum, raw umber pigments and diluted with white glue and water
then the dust on the hull side is Tamiya flat earth airbrushed with 95% rubbing alcohol, adding NATO brown for lower hull
pigments ( flath earth, light earth and dark earth ) to finish the lower hull and raw umber pastel powder for the upper hull and the turret
