Looks great so far. I love the weathered/realistic metal look you have going on there. One question; what is "drybrushing?" I see the term thrown around a lot, but don't know what it actually means.

Dry brushing is the process of painting a solid color down in this case black 2 coats, then taking a lighter color in this case silver and covering the brush with it, then you take a piece of paper towel and whipe 99% of the lighter color off only leaving a tiny coloring of it, then you apply it over the dark color, You can add a little or a lot depending on how weathered you want it, other techniques include using your finger with a little paint and smearing it all over the surface very fast which does a similiar effect or a tiny ammount of paint on paper towel and whipe it on and off, for a better explination check out jin saotomes tutorial
