Alan,

You can PM your email I can send you his blend file with the node setup or you might be able to download it from the webpage where he shared it with me.

The way he built it, its nested/grouped in 4 levels. Enclosing screen captures of the different groups. He is using the ambient occlusion along with a power math modifier to capture detail up front and blur the detail as you get further along the model. I tried using a logarithmic math modifier and seemed to capture more detail but the power modifier seemed to be smoother.
