Painting more stains and dents and also dragged the scratches/cracks layers on the color maps over as i wanted slight inward displacement on them too. It was a back and forth process from Photoshop to Houdini vice versa, the fact that the desktop had only GIMP (another paint software) and no Photoshop added to the tiring time wasting process of transferring the maps via thumbdrive.
Some images of the displacement maps, v008, v010, v012 respectively...
Render 09_hammer & 10_hammer turntable
With more added on to the maps, I fired off more renders, the resolution is 1/2 of HD720 (1280 x 720) and render settings are almost default, only increased the Min/Max Ray to 6/9 and 6/6 Pixel Samples.
