I also provided a 6 minute step-by-step video that MR will be making available for viewing to go with the article.

QUOTE: Originally posted by tsasala This is directed at Joe, but I'm looking for other thoughts. How do you transition from the main line to branch and sides when it comes to weathering? I have a number of branches and sidings that I'd like to paint differently like Joe depicts, but I'm not sure where the branch color should begin or what the best (most prototypical) blending approach should be. It seems to me the branch coloring wouldn't just start, that it would blend some way.?. -Tom
