The armour surfaces are not too small. :) When you age metallics, consider where the metal is going to get the most wear - at these spots, it\'ll be the most shiny, \'cos it\'s polished by wear. Edges and raised bits will get dented, knicked and chopped, but will be the shiniest. It\'s in the nooks and crevices that the muck will gather, and this is perfectly suited to using a wash of purple, brown and blue inks, or Tamiya Smoke.

And thats the problem: There are no crevices on the legplates of the terminators.
I think i will do some aging on the inner parts of those surfaces.

@ funnymouth

I got a reference pic in the first post - there is a well hidden link ;)
It is mostly oxidation.
PS: Yeah, GKs rock! :D
