Final coat of Olive drab. I do think I went too far in some places and I would have liked to see some more variability. Overall pretty happy with it however.

I wanted some areas heavily worn and used Ammo "heavy chipping" to create the chips.

Nice! Chipping effects look really good. I think the color variation looks fine. You're right though, it is quite easy to overdo the top coat...it will look fine when laid down, but the variations can disappear somewhat as the paint dries if too much has been applied.
