Here is a few pictures of the Wespe I built for my Korsun Pocket Winter Diorama. You can see that I have dry brushed and weathered it slightly but I know it is not nearly enough.
It will be a winter/urban scene.
Any suggestions?

Looking good!
I'd say you have dry-brushed enough my freind, what you need now are some filters/washes to bring out the details. Then get some mud on there and you'll be away!
BTW where are the transfers?
As a Korsun pocket dio, are you using Dragon's Gen2 'Korsun Pocket Desperate Defense' Figures? I've just built them and they are excellent, fully recomended! Would build up nicely withy this Wespe.
Keep up the good work and keep us posted with your progress,
James

Transfers? Is that another name for decals? If so I have to say I read a really good article on applying decals but unfortunately it was AFTER this was built. So in essence I planned on putting them on after the paint job was done and before the heavy weathering. The good thing is that there aren't many decals. I think just two small Iron Crosses and so small numbers.
Is a filter the same as a wash? What type of wash would you suggest? Brown or black?
Should there be more rust?

I was going to suggest a wash also.
A filter is an 'all over wash' that tones the entire model (or area). A wash is only in the creases and shadow areas.
I would add at least a wash of black and light filter of black and may be brown.
Transfers are decals.

Awesome. Great tips. I will do both and I will put the decals before the filter and wash. As mentioned the decals are rather small so it should not be a problem that they are going on a few steps after they should have. The filter should cover them well.
