Big Holidays are Just Weeks Away!

We hope that you and your family had a fun and safe Thanksgiving/Black Friday/Cyber Monday time Yep, and now the *big* Holiday Season is just around the corner and unfortunately (for us), we'll NOT be headed for our favorite Holiday spot with Family on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Which means that all we're hoping to get for Christmas is a COVID-19 "vaccine"--and I hate getting shots. But the CDC has identified my health risk as "1b" which seems to mean th

at there are about 80 Million folks ahead of me and the December 2020 supply is only about 20 Million. Sure hope that Santa can help us out!
This is good news for you especially if you are going to need some Doctor Ben's and/or Scale Model Masterpieces kits and details anytime over the next few weeks.The bad news is the recent reports of the USPS "Ship-A-Getton ad the very slow Postal Services and UPS and FedEx Ramping u for Covid-19 vaccine Expided shipments. Things are getting interesting in the Supply Chain industry!
Last year one of our Doctor Ben's customers just returning to the hobby is building an HO Banta Pro Patria Mill facility. Stan sent us some images of some other parts of his layout which we'll upload to our Customer Photos page real soon. In case you are wondering, as a former Floquil user, Stan is finding the use of Doctor Ben's products to replace the defunct Floquil super easy to use and none of the Floquil smells that he use to experience in the "good 'ol days".
Thanks for sharing, Stan! We'll see everyone in the Hobby Room ... wearing face coverings and freshly washed hands!

Doctor Ben's Weathering Solution Products

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 Weathering Stain Products

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 started going for more than a $100 a bottle on eBay in the late 1980s; Richard, now Doctor Ben’s, decided offer an Aged Driftwood Weathering Stain as an exact color match to the 1983 Floquil Driftwood stain. As this amazing Doctor Ben's product became increasingly popular all over the world, additional Weathering 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!

This is a "turn key" operation. Just as quickly as you can get it set up you can be selling products immediately! Questions we have received:

1) Is this Scale Model Masterpieces business profitable? Yes it is. Current product line is just over 300 SKUs.

2) What can be done to make this business be more profitable? We have NOT attended a model convention and even in the past six years which we expect the new owner to return to the various conventions, events and shows which will bring much more exposure than what we currently do over the Internet and word of mouth...
