Hmm. Yeah, can see that. I would, based on the original, if the goal 
"was" to match it, "A good start". But, yeah, the one obvious thing 
missing is the "hanging" bits, where its still peeling, for one. Your 
version, I suppose, looks more like what someone might get is being real 
careful about scraping those bits off, to leave a smooth surface. I was 
right about the greater variations of discoloration though. ;)

For me, frankly, it would be. A lot of the stuff I do right now (and 
there just isn't a lot of practical ways to help it with POVRay) is for 
Second Life, when I do any at all. And, I seriously hate the lack of 
realism in so much of the stuff on there, especially when contrasted 
with stuff that "is" being done with high realism. :p
