*Doctor Ben's "How-To #2: The ABCs of Staining Castings" booklet
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. 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! Most of the better kits have castings made of differing materials in the same box. And it seems like each one has to be colored and stained completely different. Fortunately for you, this “How-To #2” booklet carefully walks you through the process of understanding the hows and whys of what you need to do to use the same products to color and stain practically any material. This How-To booklet is included *FREE* in the Doctor Ben's Weathering Stain Sets #1 & #2 AND in each Thomas A. Yorke "Practice Wall HO/O scales.

*Doctor Ben's "How-To #3: Weathering & Painting Using Pigments" booklet
Modeling with pigments for most people is a mystery. This is partly due to the fact that many folks confuse pigments with powders and chalks and mistakenly think that these powders and chalks will produce the same results as using industrial pigments. Additionally, not all pigments are created equal. For instance, there are tempra pigments made for finger painting that are nowhere nearly as concentrated as Industrial Weathering Pigments. And only Industrial Weathering Pigments are color-fast with polymer-binder adhesives that enable them to adher to practically any surface. This booklet simplifies this mysterious substance and its applications. This How-To booklet #3 is included *FREE* with any of the SIX the Doctor Ben's Weathering Pigment Sets.

AGED DRIFTWOOD-Weathering Stain-Floquil Replacement 8oz
It was just a few years ago that Testor's® purchased the Floquil® line of petroleum & water based paints & stains. And although no one knows the actual truth as to why Testor's® stopped producing the widely popular line of Floquil® Flo-Stains, I wasn't bothered that much. Due to the amount of model building I do for some very special customers I had already evolved my use of paints and stains to the same permanent, but non-petroleum based products with the exact same results—some twelve years ago. Maybe it was the price, maybe it was the smell, either way, using my created weathering stains only improved the quality of my modeling and when Floquil stopped making the Flo-Stains, I didn't panic. The Doctor Ben's Aged Driftwood that I use and now sell to you is a scientifically matched product to our 1983 Floquil® Flo-Stain bottle of product and no one is the wiser!

DURTY BLACK Doctor Ben's Ready-To-Use Weathering Stain 4oz
Now Here! We’re working on a description and a bunch of images for this particular stain. So in the meantime, here’s an idea to try: IDEA-for wooden barrels, boxes and kegs of any kind of material, use the Natural Basswood (#1090) to prime the detail & allow to dry for a few minutes. Without shaking the Rustic Oak (#1081) quickly wash the detail. Use some Realistic Rust (#1050) to color the rusty metal bands & metal parts and allow to dry. Hang the detail upside down and using a Micro Blaster (#1490) with some “thinned” Instant Age (#1051) spritz the details. Turn the details right side up and spritz the tops with the same Instant Age solution & allow to dry. You will be amazed as to how real the wooden details look! These products are topical applications that do not affect the surface integrity of the model. These products have built in adhesive polymers that enable them to stick to any surface. Have Fun!
