Pre-Labor Day Special?

Welcome to Doctor Ben's Pre-Labor Day Special!
Monday is observed as Labor Day here in the United States which is a Holiday for the USPS and Canada Post (no service). This 2-day Pre-Labor Day Special will start today and end at Midnight, September 4, 2021.
So, just to be clear, until this business is sold this Doctor Ben's website is not meant to replace our www.DeBenLLC.com website. This website has all the same Doctor Ben's products that you've known for the past 30+ years but without all the Scale Model Masterpieces/Thomas Yorle/California Freight (now all incorporated into Scale Model Masterpieces) products ... and other stuff. In short, without the clutter.
So head on down through this Newsletter and don't forget that anything you purchase expecting to receive 7% Off with (minimum purchases) has to be on this website. FYI there may be yet-to-be-found Links to the www.DeBenLLC.com website that we've not yet fixed! Should you find one, or two … please Reply to this Newsletter with a title or website link and we'll get it fixed. See you in the Hobby Room, and wash your hands and please wear a mask when you’re out and around others.

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!

Scale Scenery Multiple Scales N, HO, S & O
Scale Scenery--Lots & lots of Tree Stumps are found here as well as in the Scale Model Masterpieces product line. Each has a description instructing its use and maybe modeling techniques used to get the most out of this item.
You say you need help to make your stumps look realistic? We heard you and we have a Stump Finishing Booklet, too! 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!

Why People Are Increasingly Turning to a Side Hustle
June 16, 2021 Ina Steiner
One in three Americans have a “side hustle,” according to a survey of 2 thousand Americans conducted by The Harris Poll for Zapier. It found that 34% of Americans have a side hustle, and 61.1 million Americans (24%) plan to start a side hustle in 2021.
