While it's true, I am a bass trombone weathering enthusiast, I'm no assistant to THE Tom Mann. I'm lucky to even view yinz guys stuff online!

Here's a Clerihew about Ed. K.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

On your "next project" — are you working from a prototype photo or are you going to simply duplicate the MTL model?

I am not looking to duplicate the MTL model.
Was thinking something along these lines:

He he Josh likes wieners, Bevis.

Seriously though, watch out for that Neolube, capillary action will flow that suff up a vertical grade groove in an instant.

How about advice on how to fix this?

I would suggest some very careful xacto knife carving
reimaging mortar lines at corners
and in places that look somewhat "too smooth" or "to rough"
to be the texture of the build
then colorization that reinforces mortar and highlights
to edges and windows / roof
