Hello everyone. New guy here. Let me say this is a great site to have in the collection for all types of information. I myself am a new N scaler, and with that comes my first question. Now remember I am new here so forgive me if I ask an old question someone else has most likely asked many times before. Okay, I am officially going crazy now! I am building a grain elevator for my layout out of 1/16" balsa sheets. I had the major parts ready to go as of Sunday. The grain elevator will be a structure that needs to appear to have been there for many years, therefore I need to figure out how to make the wood have that old, graying, distressed look. Does anyone have any experience making their structures appear this way that could give me a few pointers, or a certain technique used?
So far I have tried a few variations of thinned down acrylic raw umber, and black, and other variations of those colors hand painted on, but nothing seems to be working here. Can anyone please help me with this?
