Newsletter-Oct 13, 2016!

  So, yes, we (DEBenLLC) have lots & lots of stuff going on which is very fortunate because this is a time of year when this Hobby Industry has a lull due to school ramping up, sporting seasons ending and beginning, and in this particular year, here in the United States, we have Presidental elections and all of the political antics that seem to be entertaining the entire planet.

  That said, we would like to provide you with an update of a couple of things that we're doing and why. First, something that we started with the HO Scale Cal Freight was casting the detail parts using our high quality Labstone gypsum rather than what many manufactures use which is a 2-part resin.

  There are several great reasons for casting using Labstone and the first being cost. We are able to increase the quantity of parts the package for the same price or less that what the product originally sold for. Secondly, Labstone does NOT require all the pre-painting preparation of first washing of the mold release from the resin casting process and although the Labstone Detail may have shiny, smooth areas, the porosity of Labstone does not require the shiny surface to be sanded or scuffed up and/or primed to enable the detail to hold onto the paint. Which means that Doctor Ben's Weathering Stains & Solutions are an ideal finish for the Labstone Details!

  The next thing that we are doing is more easily described in the above image illustrating a few Cal Freight Details which will function across multiple scales. What the above image shows that the stacks of boxes and large transformer which is large for N Scale is nominal in size for S and O scales. We're not saying that this works for all details, but in some cases, size is relative and all about perspective of the environment. Stay tuned!
