Just came to this post. Not to late I hope. I have used the Vallejo set and the Ak weathering set on buildings for my sons model railway. It needs a little practice. An airbrush is recommended. There is also a small book by Ak about wood weathering.

Is that the AK 259 REALISTIC WOOD EFFECTS , book?

Yes. It emphasises on AFV Modelling, but the techniques can be used on plastic - or even wood- of ship models as well.

I like to use the airbrush, because one will get a very thin and even surface. Especially when you are priming the surface. I think using a brush is possible. It's only my personal experience. When you paint on all the small details and for blending you have to use a brush.

 

Here's an example were I used only the washes on plastic, primed with matt varnish:
