You can find the full progress thread in the first post, but i can repost some here and explain how i went about doing things in more detail if people are interested.
As i mention in my Artstation posts i didn't get a chance to do everything i wanted since i started a few weeks late. Overall i worked on it about 5 weeks, in my spare time. There are a lot of things i would change especially some proportions, but render times are really high on my old PC so i'm gonna leave it as is.
For example i would reduce the size of the luggage and headlights as others have mentioned on Slack., since there are some scale issues.
@MBS320 : The technique i used is pretty simple, but a bit tedious to work with. Basically i used procedural noises that are available in MODO (but i'm sure you can find them in Maya as well) like these http://modo.docs.thefoundry.co.uk/modo/601/help/pages/shaderendering/EmodoTextures.html#page=page-2
I masked those using a combination of AO and cavity or convexity, just like you would in Substance Painter. THe only difference is that i projected those noises onto the mesh using planar mapping or box mapping, so i didn't have to make any UVS. Using selection sets i could mask specific parts of the mesh onto which i apply those materials. I hope that clears it up a bit. If not feel free to ask more questions.
Here's a progress gif in case anyone was curious.
About the mud on the wheels @snake85027 @another caveman
Its hand placed geo with some pretty basic displacement and color based on a couple of noises. Its heavily inspired by the mud on the carriage the guys at Crytech did for The Hunt.
