Doctor Ben's Instant Age Weathering Solution (4oz & 8oz) is ideal for that dark full coverage and thinning Doctor Ben's Instant Age by 50% or more will flow into cracks and crevasses creating the illusion of shadows and depth.

Background: When I first began building Fine Scale Miniatures kits  (manufactured by George Sellios) many years ago, the part that I enjoyed the most was the weathering. Nothing irked me more than to build a model in a brand new, pristine condition. I began looking for something more that what the FSM instructions offered. Don't get me wrong, I owe a great deal of what I learned about building models from building early Thomas A. Yorke kits, Model Masterpieces kits, Builders in Scale kits, Timberline kits; heck, there's even a thing or two to learn from building the Campbell kits. CLICK HERE for More!

  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?

  The thing that most modelers do not realize is that many times a color in it's container will not dry to be the exact same color. This is why we put so much effort in displaying samples of Doctor Ben's Stains, Solutions, and Pigments so that customer have a better understanding of what the product will look like when it is used and, if it is applied wet or dry. And if you have never noticed, only one other the Doctor Ben's weathering products have a gloss finish; do you know which one it is? ... Read the rest of the Story Here!
