Yes, I agree, these macros would provide one ingredient towards the 
realistic weathering of a model such as this.  But a very important one. 
  The thing that is notable here, I believe, is that while the macros 
could have been applied to the model as a whole, they are instead 
applied to each piece of the model individually so as to be more 
efficiently responsive to the finer details.  And, of course, they could 
also be applied to specific combinations of components for effect.
