Welcome to the
Doctor
Ben's on-line store
website. Now on the web since 1996,
here your will find original,
quality weathering and scratch
building products that are contest
proven to enable you to build a
model as bad as we do.
No I do not have a model train
story to tell where I first got
interested in building models. In
fact, I use to get a kick out of
telling a room of model railroaders
that model railroading is an evil
necessity to my hobby—building
dioramas!
That was a long time ago when I
use to conduct clinics on how folks
could make these products for
themselves. Funny thing, I don't
think folks paid attention because
here I am making a living by selling
products that I tried to teach them
to make themselves!
Nope, I started out in this hobby
in the mid-1970s building Fine Scale
Miniature kits in trade for
unassembled kits. I had this crazy
notion that I wanted the entire
FSM
kit collection. |

Two ex-wives and several collections
later I gave up that notion of
having a complete
FSM
set especially if I kept losing the
collection in a divorce and so I
just build them; and sell a few too.
But that is in the
FineScaleMiniatures Biz
section
of this website. You are here
because you want to build these kits
as quickly and as bad as I do,
right?
Well, what started out as
SMMB&S
and a handful of products has turned
into over one hundred products and
continues to grow.
The way I figure it is that if I
make something and I'm not proud
enough to put my name to it, I'm not
going to be that enthusiastic to
sell it to you. And if the price
isn't reasonable, you are not going
to buy it, so I would just be
wasting your time and my money
producing the product.
So, plan to spend some time
browsing through the complex pages
of th is
section. I am working to make this
much simpler and easier to find
things. It just takes time working
on this website and when I am
working on the website, I can't be
making product. So hang in there and
if you have a question,
Just Askkk! |
