Thanks PHArchivist!! The flash is making the Scracthes look a little to bright. I went over them with some thin sienna on those scracthes. Thanks for the suggestions again. I am putting a fork in it....done.
Much more natural looking, and just the right amount of scratches. Any more would have been a bit too much. Looks like you nailed it! Maybe add a thin sienna wash in the scratches, and perfecto (unless the flash is blowing out the whiteness)!

Just got mine today at the local TRU. Very surprised they had any at all. I took a pic in low light with my phone's camera, turned out very atmospheric!
my local TRU has a whole shelf of these... i pulled one out of the box at the store, and it looks awfully small.
i've got one of the vac formed ones pulled from the ep3 masters, and this seemed smaller. i wish i could have put them side by side. i might still go back and pick one up, but i was a bit disappointed in that.
but, the good news is, if you are in MA, the TRU in natick had at least a half dozen on shelf.
