>>9935447I'd recommend checking out the different ways of finishing models by different subjects, out of interest or to try a fun change of pace. There's absolutely something to be said for factory fresh, pristine models like you see car guys do and you're advocating for, but a filthy, battered tank can also look fantastic. Maybe try dirtying up an amphibious unit as though it's seen battle after creeping out of a swamp? Even something as simple as just making some panels slightly lighter/darker to break up the huge, uniform spaces to give the model some greater sense of depth and scale.
