Excellent looking tank!
I can see why it won.

Great job Tom do you live in Dallas? Need to hook up with the Dallas platoon, check out the messages in the Big A in the USA forum section to find out what's going on. We are looking to do a large group diorama for a show shortly. Don't forget the Arlington show in early September

I use Tamiya XF-61 Dark Green with just a touch of white to lighten it a bit.
Used the wash followed by drybrush technique. I used rustall in the corners to simulate the "Rust/Dirt". Then used Tamiya Earth darkened with flat black to blend it all together.
This was out of the box with no additional aftermarket items.
The tracks are Link and Length plastic. The biggest headache was to fill all the ejector pin holes on the track pieces

Tamiya XF-61 Dark Green lightened a tad with white.
