I think you will find on here and other specialist model boat sites that weathering of models in now done to a very high standard. it is not so easy on period ships, which tend to be static models, as any weathering can just look like a badly finished model. there are exceptions of course... Weathering techniques are usually applied to the model after it is almost finished. on a white hull, a little running rust would be a good idea. running rust is the name given to the stain caused by having salt water draining or flowing over a rusty item.. Maintaining a consistency across the model is critical to the overall effect and the weathering applied to each type of wood, be it decking, bridge sides, deck houses etc. finally sealing the wood after weathering is completed is important to ensure that washes and any pigments you may have added are not then eroded..
