We've been very busy since the last posting! First, we have nearly doubled the number of Doctor Ben's Weathering Pigments. We now have two 27-Colors Sets: an Armour Set and a Railroad Set both packed full of incredible colors that individual interests will find essential and  value packed. We still have the two 8-Color sets for both interests and we have added two 11-color Pigment Sampler Sets geared more towards our Dealer Network. The Doctor Ben's Sampler Sets are in one ounce re-sealable jars which in turn are enclosed on a durable, clear case. The Pigment Sampler Set case does have a twelfth jar which will be utilize to hold rubbing alcohol for the upcoming Doctor Ben's "How-To #2: Painting & Weathering with Industrial Pigments-They're Not Your Dad's Chalks Anymore!" booklet. This new booklet will be included in each of the sets as soon as we can get the editing completed and printed, stapled, & folded (we do this ourselves to keep costs down and to save you money. Until the new booklet is ready the How-To #1 is included in all Pigment Sets.

Another great accomplishment is that we revamped the Doctor Ben's Weathering Stain listings and images. A very *special* thanks goes out to Robert Wintzinger for creating samples of each of the seventeen Weathering Stains that we have converted to post in each of the listings instead of pictures of jars full of Stains product. We found that folks were hesitant to purchase some of the colors due to the pictures on the website. We found that two things were discouraging folk from trying the products. First, acrylic pigments we wet/moist are a much different color that when they have taken time to dry. Hence, viewers browsing through our on-line website could not get an accurate color representation of the produce viewed only in a jar. Second, all of our images are photographed and printed in CMYK and the internet is RGB. We discovered that the Internet's conversion of CMYK to RGB messed with the colors and depending on the monitor viewing the "converted" image 500 people would get 500 different color representations. So we took photos of Roberts samples in RGB and posted them in RGB so you could better see what the colors looked like on a slice of wood siding.

Robert went one step further by sampling each stain sample by: 1) brushing on the Doctor Ben's Weathering Stain and allowing it to dry momentarily and then wiping off with a dry rag/paper towel. The Weathering Stain sample was then 2) brushed on (two coats) and allowed to dry with no further action. And finally the Weathering Stain sample was 3) brushed on allowed to dry and then wetting a rag/towel with rubbing alcohol, Robert them rubbed off the Weathering Stain so that some wood began to show through and then *spritzed* with Doctor Ben's Instant Age (#1052).

And finally, check out the below Modeling Tip of the Week. We receive a plethora of emails with questions about how to do this; what to use to do that; and we hope that you will find the Doctor Ben's BlogSpot as an essential tool for you to post your questions, comments and successes using the Doctor Ben's products. See you there!
