2021 Half Over & Going Fast ...

  Lot's of thing going on including a behind the scenes of our www.debenllc.com, DrBens.com & Scale Model Masterpieces (not yrt on-line) websites. Yet again, the *techies" say that it is the next generation of "hand-held devises friendly" design. Just like last year, the new format is supposed to be less cluttered and easier to navigate. FYI Something that NONE of the websites like at all is when a Customer changes their address AND does NOT update their account information on our website AND then attempts to place an order using their *NEW* address. Long story shot is us receiving a message from the Customer venting their frustration.
   We shared the image at right on Facebook nine years ago and the number one question: "That's not wood?" Nope. But it is weathered with nothing but Doctor Ben's Weathering Stains & Solutions using my "Layering Technique" that I have shared in countless Clinics and Articles over the past forty years!
  Are you an "Ebay Hater"? It seems that you are NOT alone. And as of July 15, 2020 things have been get even more disappointing. Along with the eBay implemented of the USA Seller Requirement that ALL Seller (at least most of the Sellers) be enrolled in the eBay Managed Payments. Buyers now pay eBay and the Seller is supposed to ship your purchases immediately and eventually eBay will make a bank deposit some days later (3-5 business days). This system has been in activation for over two years now with a substantial amount of complaints and issues. Just another reason to expect delayed deliveries not including the USPS.
  Till then; see you in the Hobby Room & Please Be Safe!!

"Back Road Buildin's" The Grocery !

"Traveling the back roads years ago, one would happen across a tiny grocery store around every other bend in the road or over the next rise. Even today, these picturesque treasures can still be found. Wood siding deeply scarred by grain and rot and weathered a beautiful silver gray. Rusted tin roofing sheets all but covering the original wood shakes. Front porch sagging and with a decided lean. And as though in staunch defiance to this earthly appeal are a multitude of colorful metal signs plastered everywhere advertising the contents of the interior: colas, soaps, cigarettes, remedies, staples, and clothing." (Introduction from original 1980's advertising in the NG&SL Gazette magazine)

  The Grocery in O Scale is the first of this series with a bunch more to follow in both O Scale AND HO Scale. Above and at left is the "finished" Pilot Model images, where I finally found some spare time to finish applying the signs and adding the details that are included in this kit. If anyone is interested, this built-up model like some many other pilot models (still available) is For Sale.

And you will be amazed at all the "Options" of Extra Details, Doctor Ben's Stains & Solutions used for finish & weathering we have added to this kit which means huge $$$ savings for you!  CLICK HERE for more information!

 "The St. Matthew's School House" Historical Kit!
Scale Model Masterpieces / former Thomas Yorke Ent. HO/1:87
Footprint: 2-1/2" wide x 4-1/2' long. Small in stature; huge in detail

The prototype for this structure was one of the hundreds of photographs done for the Farm Security Administration by Walker Evans. The photo for this particular inspiration was about 1936 somewhere in Alabama. This structure is a complete freestanding structure that may be used alone or combined with other period structures.

This typical backwoods structure portraying a small town, one room school only differs in two ways from the original photograph. The original Thomas A Yorke Ent design had a tar paper roof instead of a shingle roof. Doctor Ben's Precision Rustic Shake Shingles
