Weathering? Can't help you there.
As for the hut itself, it looks like the only thing that might need some paint would be the railings(a nice matching flat acrylic). The thatch and vertical beams look pretty good as they are.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.

I would start with a dull coat spray first. See what that does for it. The shine is what really takes away form the “real” factor. Then, you could use some pastel chalks to add a weathered look. The dull coat will give it some tooth for the pastels to stick to. You can re-seal it when you have the look you want. I used this method on my German sub model.
