  1. Aaron, thanks for this informative series. I love your accent! Do I hear a hint of British in your accent? My background (generations back) is from England. Who knows, we may be long lost cousins.

  2. You, sir, are an artist! I wondered why some modelers endorsed Tamaya masking tape. Now I understand.
    Thanks

  3. Hmmm…your sample car at the beginning had a thin blue line at the top and bottom of the gray area. We’re you planning on adding this later?

  4. Great advice, thanks Aaron. But this episode seems to have an identity crisis – is it #8 or #9 (as on the video itself)?? Keep ’em coming, anyway!

  5. Aaron, thanks for a great segment, and not only showing me how to do this successfully, but somehow giving me the confidence to work on my own heritage fleet of locomotives.

  6. Aaron that was an excellent how to segment for masking and touch up. This will help me as I paint through several locomotives and cars waiting on the table. Thank you, great work.
