scubadude,
This is a great model project. I built this one many years ago and still love looking at it. One of the methods I used to simulate wood rot was to thin out some brown paint and place a very thin amount in a small pan. Then, after aging the wood with a wire brush and a dental pic I placed the bottom of the wall in the thinned out paint and allowed some of it to soak up into the wood. This simulates heavier rot near the bottom and less further up. I also cut one door out of the frame and remounted it in a 'kicked in' position. Broken glass is also a nice touch.
Have fun with this project. It's looking great so far.
