Currently, a "work in progress", this 1978 Thomas A. Yorke Ent kit (Now Scale Model Masterpieces) is receiving whole new (and some original) update. We have the Main Building Drawings 95% complete and the Instruction Booklet updated. For the bunch of you who have recently purchased ...

There are lost of folks who offer powders and say that they are for weathering models. Unfortunately,  they don't explain what they are and how to use them. Although Doctor Ben's has only offered the "dry" weathering pigments for the past ten years or so, the Doctor Ben's Industrial Weathering Pigments have been a key ingredient in the Doctor Ben's Weathering Solutions & Stains for more than thirty years. This Blog Post is the complete Doctor Ben's "How-To #3: Weathering & Painting Using Pigments" booklet in digital format. The information in this How-To booklet will provide amazing results when using Doctor Ben's Weathering Pigments, but may not be as effective when trying to use "weathering powders", because, well, they're just not Doctor Ben's.

 

 

Modeling materials have come a long way since the good ol’ days of modeling with cereal boxes and erector sets. Now-a-days many modeling products are made of white metal, resin, or plaster all representing brick, stone & wood. If all the modeling components were made of the same material, figuring a way to color or stain them would be a snap. Well, they're not and we help explain how to make them look realistic in this How-To booklet.

 

Lot's on new information in this Newsletter .... and not so much sales focused. Still, How-To #2 Booklet has "finally" been updated with color photos and also uploaded to our Blog. We're also adding a "surprise" gift to each of our four Doctor Ben's Weathering Stain Sets!

We're giving away to our customers perfectly (well, sort of) good detail castings rather than sell them as "seconds".

We hope that you will find the information here will solve many of the questions you have about the fastest, easiest way to apply corrugated material, as well as a quick and easy technique to apply finishes and weathering.

The Hobby has lost a good friend, an amazing modeler, and a true craftsman.
