Need to Weather? Let's Weather!

  Much of this Newsletter has been written before leaving Delaware because Mother Nature played havoc on the timing for our return last weekend. As we mentioned in earlier Newsletters, we experienced some mechanical difficulties with our van resulting in a one week delay getting to Maryland to spend the Holidays with family. Our second attempt of a trip went well at just over a 12 hour trip and no problems.Now we finally have a small window hoping to get around most of the weather in our way and it will be a messy drive on a return-to-work Monday.
 One of the best things about being "weathered" in is the opportunity to do some model building! I repeatedly receive message from folks about the water tank used in our Doctor Ben's logo (shown right) No, it's NOT a SMM/Yorke tank, but we do have several that are easily substituted. I'm hoping that one day I'll have to time to make a construction and weathering video. And for the record, this tank & base is a Schomberg Scale Models kit from way back in the eighties. 
   Over the Holidays we began the construction of our Doctor Ben's and SMM/Yorke websites. As you can imagine, we returned home to a plethora of Orders and after we get caught up, I'll get back on finishing the websites including their activation in preparation for the sale of each of the businesses. Stay tuned! See you in the Hobby Room ...

Can Dr. Ben's Weathering Products be used on resin?        by Jim Cleveland
 You may have used alcohol based weathering solutions with fantastic results on wood, or plaster kits in the past, but we are here to attest that they can also be used with fabulous results on resin kits as well! 
  True, the process is different because the resin is not porous, however, this can, in fact, work to your benefit. Keep reading and you'll see what we're saying. ... Read More Here
