So I managed the unmanageable

Simply not enough interesting stuff for one video! But what should I do more that would add more valuable content? Something that can be managed in one day? The only logical thing that I should to next is chipping... so what now? Well... let's do it in one day!
That's right. I mean, it's not perfect, but here are a few interesting things. First off, I imagined this tank would probably not be in action for months, but who knows, right? Second... I had a hunch that using a sponge would make the process actually manageable. So I combined sponge chipping and speckling with acrylic paints for the first light layer, but also the second steel layer! This was then refined with a paintbrush. Mostly just connecting a few wandering chips and outlining the worn edges.
Focusing on the most exposed areas also helped a lot. I started with the rails for the unditching log and went from there. Lastly, some heavily worn areas were coated in grey and given a quick enamel rust wash - the same thing that awaits the remaining chipping effects, and more! Rust streaks, grimy streaking effects, etc. But that's a story for another video! :)
