You have to be careful when building with wood and white glue that you don't get any of the glue on the surfaces to be weathered. I recommend weathering the wood before you build. I know, I know, you want to get on and build it, but after several wood structures I came to the conclusion (that everyone had been telling me) that weather first, then build, then touch up. You might want to try DullCoat directly on the wood, followed by a straight alcohol wash. This will "cloud" the DullCoat. It can be an effective way to make paint look faded, so you might want to give it a shot. I really enjoy working with wood kits and scratchbuilding. I usually use the wood glue that is waterproof, or gel superglue to avoid joints coming undone when putting on finishing coat of weathering. I don't think I have seen the colour you describe - most of the barns around here are made of pine, which goes a silvery-grey colour, even in full sun. Andrew
