I did notice that most of the platforms have most if not all the paint rubbed off of them from all the use they would get.
Ah, Greg - you've hit on my rationale for the painting technique. A little gunmetal or graphite/silver dry brushed in places would probably go a long way towards the idea that these were everyday working machines that saw plenty of use.
I have yet to do a search but will do so later tonight.
