Granade Texturing Practice. Need Harsh critics!

maxivz

Hello guys, its me once again failing with my textures, i am having a hard time recreating good looking materials in cg, i have been watching how they react to light, how damange builds up, how different types of materials take damange in different ways, and i understand it pretty well, the problems comes in when i try to get that in my models.
Heres a granade i modeled, i think its an MK2 american one, but that doesnt matter very much, the poin of this model was to improove my texturing skills to something decent and what would be better to help me improove than this forum users? Would love to get feedback on how i could improove the texture.
This is some kind of base materials, i dont have a bunch of scratches and things going on as i am trying to set up some decent base materials.
Cheers polycounters!

Looking good, so far. Kinda hard to see beyond it since you've just laid out the basic materials, although you're heading to the right direction.

Decided to throw off the blue paint as i liked it more how metal looked, so i put up some metal in there, worked some more on the fragmentation part material. Basic gloss map going on now, i want to get more practice with gloss as i suck with them.
