ah64, your right that wood does look to new, I only blackened it and it needs to be wrecked, thanks, when you look at it in the pics you can see things in a better way. The best materials I've found is the Rust All kit out of San Francisco, Ca It's at most hobbie shops I think and used by model railroad guys, easy to do, comes with rust, blackening a very fine dirt and a dull coat, the more you add of the black and rust the better it gets, easy to control, after you throw some of there fine dirt on and seal it in.
