1. First, and most importantly, this is clearly haphazard. Meaning you just went in with an IDEA of weathering instead of researching it. You should Google up some real-life tanks and planes and refer to them constantly while weathering. Try to copy the wear patterns, and think about where damage would naturally occur on a giant robot. This typically means raised surfaces, corners, and edges--it's pretty hard to get scratches and dings in recessed areas.
2. Make every mark with intent. Don't do this slapdash shit like just drybrushing across the whole kit, any modeler can tell you were just lazy. Weathering should be applied carefully and precisely, if you're going at it hard you're probably doing it wrong.
3. Be mindful of scale. Everything is HUGE here. These would be like ten foot long scratches! It's not to say that sort of thing would be impossible, but good weathering jobs usually focus on smaller scale shit that would happen to the suit.
4. Subtlety. Always keep it subtle, it's easy to add more but can be hard to take away. Too many newbies believe suits that were in battle should look super fucked up, and that's just not always the case. Some of the best and most realistic jobs I've ever seen have very subtle weathering.
