Surprise! 48 Hour Flash Sale!

  As we scramble about our busy schedules, we'd like to take a moment to remember the thousands killed and injured in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks here in the United States. Debbie and I know that we will always remember the tragic events of this day just 18 years ago. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those individuals affected and their families.
   That said, we thought that since Summer will be here in just 12 days, we would have a 48 Hour Flash Sale! Today, Tomorrow, and Friday you have an opportunity to save $$$ bucks on Doctor Ben's & Scale Model Masterpieces products. And yes, there are hundreds of products. The Coupon Code and Fine Print are further down in this Newsletter.
  As we interview potential Buyers, we explain to them that we've not been on the hobby show/convention as a Vendor since the Hickory, NC Narrow Gauge Convention six or so years back. We are constantly being asked by event planners (three this month alone) and also Customers asking us when and where are we setting up at our next show. We tell them that although we really enjoy the experience & spending time with the many friends that we've made over the years that with my severe Rheumatoid Arthritis and now Macular Degeneration (eyes) which is being managed with fantastic drugs, we just don't have the time, energy, and/or strength required to prepare, set up and tear down displays and products that we use to transport to the hobby events. Fortunately, sales and orders from our website and other on-line resources keep us very busy seven days a week. When we do receive invitations, starting next time, we'll share those events in this Newsletter.
  Anyway, the first day of Fall is just 12 days away and we are more than ready for cooler temperatures. We have a large maple tree in our front yard and it's been dropping leaves for the past week or so as our temperatures cycle with is getting cooler for a bit and the quickly heat up again. Oh well; just another reason to stay inside and build and weather a model like the above image of the "Ferry-Morse Seed Co." diorama (now at home in New Zealand) I constructed some time ago. I need to build some more models! ;^) See you in the Hobby Room ...
Rustic Scale Lumber-Natural Finish Doctor Ben's Scale Consortium - Multi-Scale

  When I first began building Fine Scale Miniatures kits (manufactured by George Sellios) many years ago, the part that I enjoyed the most was the realistic weathering and scenicing. Nothing irked me more than to build a model in a brand new, pristine condition. I began looking for something more that what the FSM instructions offered. Don't get me wrong, I owe a great deal of what I learned about building models  Each Package Contains 300+ Pieces of 3/64''x 9/64''x 5-1/2''long. CLICK HERE to access this product.

Spotlight: Doctor Ben's Weathering  Solution Set #1 #1180 including How-To Booklet #1: "Turning  Toys into Models" - Four 4oz Jars

Not to be confused with the Doctor Ben's Weathering Stains; using Doctor Ben's Weathering Solutions will have your fellow modelers scratching their heads pondering just how you created that affect!

You may already know about our Doctor Ben's Realistic Rust, Instant Age & DBZ1180 - Doctor Ben's Weathering Solution SetWeathered Rust, the following is a detailed description about some of our equally as impressive Doctor Ben's Weathering Solutions also available in our Store:

  Granite Ballast Grey Weathering Solution #1056-4 oz. creates that light, dusty grey that is so difficult to achieve with opaque products. Additionally, this Weathering Solution reveals a 3-D effect for more realism rather than just a flat color wash. The Granite Ballast Grey Weathering Solution is also great for that silvery, grey driftwood color that is so hard to replicate in nature.  

  Grimy Dusty Buff Weathering Solution #1057 creates that light, dusty buff (tan) from road travel and wind that is so difficult to achieve with opaque products. Additionally, this Weathering Solution reveals a 3-D effect for more realism rather than just a flat color wash. The Grimy Dusty Buff Weathering Solution is great for use on vehicles, details and toning down that *new* look of fresh paint. 

  Huck’s White Wash Weathering Solution #1058 is just what it says.How To #1 BookletEverything from lime stains on a locomotive, to faded white washed wood and even the bright white lettering on a sign or on the side of a boxcar; the results are remarkable! Got more ideas for uses? Let us know & we try them out.

   Pond  Scum Weathering Solution #1059 looks just like to sounds. Picture a pond or small lake out in the country or an isolated inlet where there’s not much activity. You look up against the shore and you see this green crud; that’s Pond Scum. But don’t stop there. Look on the shady north side of many structures and you will see this green film of mold and mildew; that too is Pond Scum.  And only Doctor Ben’s has it! Click Here to find more about this product!

CORRUGATED ROOFING / SIDING Material 
Doctor Ben's Scale Consortium N, HO, S & O Scales
  Now Chose Aluminum Metal and/or Metallic Cardstock Corrugated Material! See images of both materials and their descriptions.
   Some modelers may think that because one material is a cardboard-composite that this product is a cheap quality imitation, but nothing could be farther from the truth. The Doctor Ben's Premium Silver Metallic Cardstock matte finish composite & vinyl backing material is an extremely high quality product and quite frankly, if it weren't as good or better than the aluminum material that we have sold for years and years; we would NOT be putting our Doctor Ben's brand name on this product.

Doctor Ben's How-To #4: "Hot Glue Casting" Booklet by Richard Bendever!   A number of years ago I was browsing through my old Gazette magazines and I picked up the January/February 1982 issue where I found an interesting article. In this long-out-of print magazine, I found an article about casting detail parts. In that article Terry Metcalfe described how he cast parts by melting beads of a thermoplastic called “Makit and Bakit” beads in RTV molds using an ordinary kitchen oven. I decided that this process was definitely NOT going to work for me.
  As a former Mold Maker/Tool & Die maker, I am quite familiar with the plastic injection process...  Read More ...
