All good suggestions guys. Thanks.
I've fished out a few things from my expansive bits box.
So ...
A pack for each trooper,
Spare track link for the Tauros',
Tow cables as a maybe,
Tools and cam nets.
Not sure where I'd put the handles though?

I agree that what it needs is weathering.
think is, I'm scared of messing it up.
I'm not the best painter as it is.

I'm a Weathering-a-phobe.

I'm wondering about using some powders,
Like the ones from forgeworld.

Anyone got experience with weathering powders?

I've been all too quiet on the board lately and you're unfortunate enough to be the owner of the first thread I looked at and thought 'time to help! '

Weathering powders are awesome and I highly recommend them, however they can be expensive as you also need a decent fixative to really use them properly.

I would recommend buying a cheap set of artists pastels first, you can shave the dust off them and use the dust exactly the same as proper weathering powders, except they're cheaper and you get a wide variety of colours to experiment with first so you don't waste any expensive powders by learning.

I have a tutorial at the top of this board section which may help you

I use Mig Pigment Fixer, works just fine and I know it's a popular choice.

Good stuff. I tried a cheaper one, it dried a bit... wierd.
