3 Days Till Start of Summer!

OK, Summer doesn't officially arrived until this Sunday at 11:41AM EST; and it's supposed to reach 90 degrees in Atlanta, Georgia all week! Fortunately, Mother Nature has delivered a “Cold Front” to drop the humidity for the next three days. YIKES!
The News folks are saying that finding "jobs" is a bit of a challenge especially since the Governor has stopped the unemployment stimulus.

Georgia has now opened up to nearly everyone including spots and possible school systems come the start of school in August. Still, lots of things going on here including the “possible” return of a number of products. Add your name to the Waiting List(s) if you are hoping for a specific kit … the squeaky hinge get the oil!
We're still receiving inquiries from folks asking lots of questions about our businesses that we have for sale. Many of them are nearing retirement and looking for a turn-key operation hoping to avoid all the complications of *growing* a business from scratch. I can't say that I don't blame them. When we purchased Thomas A Yorke Ent nearly ten years ago, Doctor Ben's was already in place and quite busy at the time. It took us almost two years to sort through the hundreds of boxes containing thousands of "un-marker/non-labeled molds, master patterns, drawings, literature and minutia that came with the purchase of the business. Things are very organized now but there's always room for improvement!
So, have a great Father's Day this Sunday! See you in the Hobby Room ... And please be safe!

*NEW* Worn Brick Weathering Pigment-2oz
Doctor Ben's Scale Consortium #1371
We sincerely believe that this is the most realistic topical application that you will ever find-guaranteed! Doctor Ben's Worn Brick Weathering Pigments are intensely strong but easily thinned with Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol (or water) to reduce its preferred intensity. Using Doctor Ben's Worn Brick Weathering Pigments is ideal for adding the realistic weathered look by applying this product dry with a stiff hobby brush or using the lid for the jar to create a pallet from which various intensities may be created to flow into cracks and crevasses creating the illusion of shadows and depth. All this and much, much more is found in our Doctor Ben's How-To: #3 instructional booklet!

O Scale Logging Camp Cook House & Portable Cabin Houses Kits

HO & O Scale 3-structure Limited Time Set has Ended!

But individual Kits are still available in HO & O Scale!
This Limited Run Kit ran much longer than expected! But, just like the HO version, this O scale kit is available separately as a Cook House Kit and separately as a Portable Camp House Kit. We have had tons of requests in both scales for just the Cook House or just the Portable Cabins. Hopefully, (or maybe the New Owner?) a Tool Shed and a Saw Sharpening Shed might be offered as well!

Originally we things just a little bit differently. The Cook & Portable Cabin Houses included windows in the rear walls instead of the original windowless rear walls. We will be going back to the plain rear walls in the portable units in the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned for more information to come soon.

PLUS! Kits include a ton of Details ... continued here ... Is anyone thinking Happy Father's Day?
