Amazon Prime We're NOT!

 Yes, that's correct; two of the many things that you did NOT find on Amazon Prime are Doctor Ben's Scale Consortium & Scale Model Masterpieces/Yorke Weathering, Scratchbuilding & Craftsman Kit products!!

   Lots of folks called and emailed asking why? One of Richard's many past careers was a Senior Buyer for a Wholesale Hobby & Craft Distributor (at the time the largest in the Southeastern USA) also known in the industry as the "Middle Man". Twenty plus years ago there was a place for this function. Walther's and the many other catalog sellers still do it today! But now with the popularity of the Internet growing daily and increasing more small hobby manufactures giving up their day jobs to work their hobby business full time; the need for this middle Man who happens to take a 20-25% profit cut is not as necessary as he once was. We the Middle Man is cut out, small hobby manufacturers can better manage their prices resulting in lower priced hobby products for you! Now if only the USPS could get it's act together to reduce it's costs to lower postage rates!

 And finally, just a reminder that we'll be traveling in a couple of weeks which means that Orders places while we're away will not be mailed until mid-August! Also, Richard has a bunch of Doctor appointments in preperation for our tripe in the next week or two which will also cause slight delays in our typical 1-3 Day Shipping policy! Many thanks again for your patience & understanding and as always you loyalty and continued business! See you in the Hobby Room ...

 Currently, a "work in  progress", this 1978 Thomas A.

   All of the casting for this model are made from  "original" Thomas A. Yorke molds/masters and cast in Labstone/Dental (Buff) for much more  superior detail than casting made of Hydrocal© can produce.
  The windows, doors,  and some other details are Grandt Line product molded plastic. Doctor Ben's  Roofing material is provided as well as the instruction for its  application.
 Each kit has updated instructions are to make construction more applicable  to changes of materials and modeling techniques.

This brand new update includes  detailed construction drawings (SEE  adjacent THUMBNAILS), scale lumber, Precision Cut template & content sheets, barrels and boxes, outhouse/privy (pictured), weathering instructions, color photos, instruction booklet, and much more.

 The original 1978 #O-9105 kit  was originally produced in the produced by Thomas A Yorke and although there have been some variations, this craftsman kit includes the best aspects of previous versions..

And yes, Doctor Ben's Weathering would look good on the roof. At right is the Front Elevation view of this kit. Booklet Instruction include is a color photographs!
