Styrene as weathered wood

For all you plastic sailing ship modelers, and those modeling steel ships with wood decks, check out your local hobby shops for the July 2006 issue of Railroad Model Craftsman. There is an excellent article on weathering styrene, to look like wood. Harold posted this, and a link to his website, on www.the-gauge.com , a while back, but now it is in print. While some of the color might not be right for ship decks, the basic technique is, and color can be adjusted to achieve whatever final result you want.
