Thats pretty cool. I could not tell by the photos. Are the grooves in the concrete actually there or are they painted on? It appeared there may be a small paint smudge on one of the tiles in the corner opposite the grass.

I would add a layer of light gray pastels to the tarmac as a dust cover. Also consider adding some oil spots in prime locations. Thin down some black paint and drop small drips on from a few inches up.

Vegatable oil works good for fuel/oil stains. Also, how about skid marks? Other than that, looks good.
