I'm by no means an expert, to me it looks like you achieve the brushed effect by dry brushing the base coat with a color that is a few shades darker than the base color.

Wow! Looks awesome. Did you connect all of the abb pieces together all the way around or just at a couple of points?
Looks very good, I like the amount of sand that you have on it. In my opinion too many people go overboard with the weathering stage and they end up with mud troopers instead of sand troopers. Keep up the good work.
