Welcome to the Doctor Ben's Weekly Newsletter!
We had tentatively planned to see Debbie's Mom after Labor Day. It's doesn't look like it will be early or late September and it may even be October. Which is also good because after a very brief period orders are coming in fast a furious which continues to keeps us super busy! Plus, we’ve been teaching our high school Intern the arts of quality casting and assembling hobby products and let us not forget that the USPS have a planned postage hike set for October 2nd!
In this Newsletter we have our “How-To #2: The ABCs of Staining Castings" Booklet and a link to our website where you may read it online, download the booklet and print it, and purchase the boo klet. And the How-To #2 booklet is included in all five Doctor Ben’s Weathering Stain assortments.
Modeling materials have come a long way since the good ol’ days of modeling with cereal boxes and erector sets. Now-a-days many modeling products are made of white metal, resin, or plaster all representing brick, stone & wood. Whether you are new to weathering & finishing, an occasional modeler, or been modeling for a millennium you may find both familiar and new techniques that will be very useful.
This Businesses is for For Sale and we continue to share this information in our Newsletters. We added almost 90 images of the equipment, tooling, material and such that are included in the purchase of this business. Feel free to give us a call at 770-666-8100 or email at [email protected] There is a Referral Fee Reward for you when/if you if tell someone you knows who purchases either or both businesses.
Thank you very much for your continued business. We hope to one day see you in the Hobby Room... |

DOCTOR BEN'S Weathering Stains
For years Richard E. Bendever has used these versatile non-petroleum Weathering Stains to stain, finish & weather the many craftsman and scratchbuilt models he had been constructing for many, many customers. So when that once famous—now defunct—Floquil® Flo-Stain product line became super rare becoming extremely hard to find as well as going for rediculous sums of money per bottle on eBay. Richard, now Doctor Ben’s, decided to offer an Aged Driftwood Weathering Stain (made highly desired by Fine Scale Models) as an exact color match to the 1983 Floquil 1980s Driftwood stain. As this amazing Doctor Ben's product became increasingly popular all over the world, additional Weathering Stain colors (including the Flow-Stain colors) were slowly created until there were enough for one Weathering Set; and then another; and then another set. It has been several years now and boy the Doctor Ben's Weathering Stain color selection has grown by leaps and bounds! CLICK HERE for more about the Doctor Ben's Weathering Stain story! |

DOCTOR BEN'S Weathering Solutions
One day I literally fell over an idea as I was helping my brother install some custom cabinets on a commercial job site. The long story short is that although my formula has changed over the years, AND, a lot of folks have tried real hard to copy my Doctor Ben's products, but they still haven't come close. I do say that this product might not be for everyone; but the fact that we have sold tens-of-thousands of jars of Weathering Solutions leads me to think that folks like using our Doctor Ben's products--a lot! all of which are Ready-To-Use Weathering Solutions (4oz jar) for Wood, Plastic, Hydrocal©, Metal & Much More

DOCTOR BEN'S How-To Booklet Series Many moons ago we created this How-To Booklet Series for the hundreds and thousands of folks we would meet at hobby shows, train shows and conventions. I would be doing demonstrations how to use our Doctor Ben's products while at the same time explaining all about the products while being interrupted with a plethora of questions by the customer and then passer-by modelers who came in the middle of the explanation and ask me to start over from the beginning. This interaction would go on hour after how, day after day to the entire multiple day show. The long story short is that I wrote the techniques down and handed them out which eventually evolved into the booklets.
Eventually we had to put a price on the booklets as they evolved and printing costs were soaring. That's when we created the Doctor Ben's Weathering Pigment, Stain and Solution sets which would include the perspective How-To Booklet.. As always, if you have questions, please ask! |

How-To #2: The ABCs of Staining Castings" Booklet by Richard E. (Ben) B endever Modeling materials have come a long way since the good ol’ days of modeling with cereal boxes and erector sets. Now-a-days many modeling products are made of white metal, resin, or plaster all representing brick, stone & wood. If all the modeling components were made of the same material, figuring a way to color or stain them would be a snap. Well, they're not and we help explain how to make them look realistic in this How-To booklet. ... Read on Here! |

Product Spotlight
Tips & Techniques: Layering Doctor Ben's  Weathering Stains One of the most popular Doctor Ben's Weathering Stains is the Rustic Barn Red (#1089). Also, one of the Doctor Ben's Weathering Stains that frightens some customers the most is the Rustic Barn Red. This is because when modelers see the Rustic Barn Red in the jar it looks to be a glowing red-pink color which is one of the last colors a modelers may want to see on their favorite structure or model. Sounds like a conundrum, right? CLICK on the image to read on ... |
