HO BALLAST NOW AVAILABLE …

OK read this … due to shipping cost I don’t have this in the store yet but it’s available …

I have BALLAST with a GREAT nature color to it and here is an introductory offer – first come, first serve as I don’t have a lot so don’t delay. I have had a couple of guy test it and they really like it saying it looks so real. It does not dissolve in water (see photo) it’s stainable – I stained it with my weathering powders iron oxide red see photo in a overnight soak and rinsed it stained remained) so that’s good
I only have HO Scale Ballast in stock at this time and O scale pictured below is dependant on the demand but takes me about 1-2 weeks lead time to restock.
Here is the offer … In the US (sorry international would be impractical so if you do want some contact me about shipping) – in the US – I offering a SMALL PRIORITY FLAT RATE BOX filled to the max (in a bag) which is about 3 lbs 11 oz. shipped for $27.50 each (see photo) it holds a full quart container and about a cup … that’s a lot of ballast.
If you don’t want that much and would like to try a smaller sample I’m offering a FIRST CLASS package filled to about 13 oz for $12.50 and if you want less than that a 5 oz pack shipped is $7.50 or 1 oz for $4.00… all of these are shipped with tracking.
Message me if you are interested in some. These is pre-packed so combined with other store items not available.

Bulk amounts will depend on amount but will probably start at about $5 a pound plus shipping.

NEW BIGGER 18 COLOR WEATHERING POWDER SETS ARE COMING!

OK did a little asking around and some folk would rather I have names for the weathering powder beyond their “technical name” – something like IRON OXIDE BLACK would be “SOOT, HEAVY GRIM” or IRON CHROMATE might be GRIM, ROAD DUST so I’ve been working on names of these powders but since they can be used on anything I’ve be reluctant to pigeon hole hole them with a specific name … believe it or not naming colors is harder than I thought.

These are all natural 99.7 pure pigment, not chalks, no fillers, not ground up pastels, pure earth pigments ground to 325 mesh.

Anywho … This is the color coming.  For now I think the 18 color set with be $40 in the store. The current 10 color set is $23 right HERE

DAVE’S WEATHERING POWDERS

OK I’m kicking around carrying these all the time but I have a few sets I’ve put together of some of the non-toxic 100% natural pure pigment (about 99.7% pure if you want to get technical) – that means it’s not cuts with chalks or fillers and pure pigment, the real deal and real dence so a little bit goes a long way. You can dry brush these as a powder, mix with water, mix with oils (like Linseed), dust them, etc.  Will not fade

I only have a limited number onhand and if folks like them I’ll make more …

WHAT YOU GET …  approx 0.25 oz each of powder
Yellow Oxide, Red Oxide, Brown Oxide and Black Oxide pigments…  cost will be $10 set.

Get your’s here.
