Welcome to the Doctor Ben's Weekly Newsletter! Just days into Fall and we have our fist hurricane of this year. We dodged a bullet on this one but Florida took a beating. Our hopes & prayers go out to everyone how didn't fair as well.. Brand New!* S Scale Corrugated Material Metallic Composite Cardstock Just a few years ago DEBenLLC purchase the "original" Sequoia Scale Models tooling for N, HO, S & O scale Corrugated Materials. Originally, this tooling was used for corrugating aluminum material some 40 to 50 years ago. Times have changed and a whole new line of materials have been introduced to the model hobby industry. Last year we launched the N & HO corrugated scale Metallic Composite Material (commonly referred to as Cardstock in the scrap booking hobby). We have received rave Reviews! Positive Reviews have come for the high quality scale craftsman product as well as how amazingly simple the material is to shape and apple to practically any surface. We hope that you will share your experiences with your fellow modelers!..... Part Number: DBZ6211 USPS Postal Rates spike up on Sunday and lasts until December 24th! So Sorry! Please be safe and wear a face mask when around unknown folks. We'll see you in the Hobby Room. Thank you very much for your continued business. |

How-To #3: "Weathering and Painting using Pigment" Booklet by Richard E. (Ben) Bendever Posted by Richard E. Bendever on 6/12/2020 to Tips & TechniquesModeling 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 More |

Aged Driftwood Weathering Stain-4oz Doctor Ben's Scale Consortium This product is designed to be applied as a stain and should not affect integrity of the material to which it is applied. A good rule of thumb that we feel best describes the coverage of the Doctor Ben's Weathering Stains is that one coat will provide a light coverage; two-three coats will provide a medium coverage and four or more coats with build up, the more porous the surface, the more difficult it is to remove, so test a small less noticeable area before the Doctor Ben's Weathering Stain is applied to the entire model/project. Although this product can be semi-permanent... Read On |

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 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! |

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 ... |
