Doctor Ben's Turns Toys into Models! Sale! |

Welcome to the Doctor Ben's Pre-Holiday Newsletter
Many, many moons ago Debbie and I were frequent Vendors at the annual Atlanta March Train shows. Debbie would assisting show customers and I would conduct weathering demonstrating of our Doctor Bens Weathering products on an assortment of model railroad items; both items we had brought to the show for the demonstrations and occasionally an attendee would pull an item out of a bag that had been purchased at the show! One time a young father with two children were all mesmerized by the ease of the weathering application and the almost instantaneous results. As I guided the father in the weathering application to his show purchased ro lling stock and he and he was loveing the results he exclaimed, “Wow! Doctor Ben’s turns toys into models!” And we have used that quote ever since.
This Newsletter will be very short. For the past 20+ years I have trusted Microsoft Outlook for managing my very broad & complex email and Calendar. Earlier this year I was told that Microsoft was doing away with this software in April 2023. And then it “went dead” last week and I have been scrambling to put a less expensive program to carry us through the sale of our businesses and so far it is working. Thank you for your patience if you are still waiting for a reply to a message that you have sent.
Just like last year where Debbie & I would normally be celebrating our Anniversary and our yearly pilgrimage to Helen. Instead, we’re headed to Maryland’s Eastern Shore to spend some quality time with Debbie’s 102+ year old Mom. We’ll be heading out the last week or so of November and returning about the first week of December. Orders placed in our absence will be processed in the order of payment received.
So have a great week and feel free to call with questions or assistance! We'll see you in the Hobby Room with washed hands and "still" wearing a face mask ... |

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! |

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
