Personally I'd be loather to main the model unless
it was a very bad casting. I'd use paint effects
and maybe surface effects. Using PVA glue you
could sculpt some melty blobby patterns or use
epoxy putty.

Air brushes and graphite finings are good for
burnt and scorched areas. Like the Enterprise at the end
of TWOK.

If you had a lot of models you could substitute
a more damaged version after the second threshold
roll for example (you'd need a lot of minis :-).

Go for it, and scan in and post the results.
