The Nuremberg Trade Show was the platform chosen by Mig Productions to launch their latest release - a 58 minute DVD, the first in a series which deals with the always complex subject of using Pigments.
Mig Productions release their different product categories under a series of different labels - 502 Abteilung (brushes and oil paints), Sin Industries (Filter sets), Mig Productions (update sets, Pigments and complete kits). Now, a fourth name has been added - Night Vision which will be the area responsible for producing and releasing a series of DVDs. The first of these (after two years of preparation and planning!) has now been released:

F.A.Q. Volume 1 - The Pigments

This 58- minute DVD demonstrates using pigments on a variety of different projects and to acheive a variety of different effects. Speaking with Miguel and Adam (who does the commentary), the rationale behind the DVD was simple - books can only go so far when one is demonstrating a technique - sometimes you have to see it 'in action'. As an addition to the DVD, a small 8-page booket is also included which has additional information about areas such as thinning and also using pigments in other areas of modeling such as figures, aviation or SF. The DVD can be obtained directly from the company or thru your usual suppliers of Mig Productions' products. However, the story doesn't end here. The next DVD is already in production. This, which will be done by Adam Wilder, will guide the users thru the minefield of Washes, Filter and using Oil Paints. The next three will cover Paint Chipping, using PE and Winter Camouflage...

The company have also entered into partnership with Vallejo to produce a series of Acrylic Paint Sets (along with a couple of high-quality brushes) which will cover all the principal combatants. The first of these:

Soviet Tanks Camouflage Paint Set has just been released.

Also released (for the first time by the company) is a catalogue listing their complete product list.

My thanks to Mig and Adam for the information.

I attempted to purchase one from the Mig site directly and was told my CC had expired...even though the date entered was for 2010! Couldn't get it to work no matter what I tried...so will have to wait for a US distributor to have it I guess.

Only problem is they have a minimum order of 15 euros! I'll wait for a US distributor.........

This is sort of an old thread but Squadron lists the DVD for $45 US Retail which is just plain price gouging on their part. They should be ashamed of themselves, it is less than 10 Euro??

Well, considering a Euro is (more or less) $1.50, to put a price of €30 on the DVD strikes me as a 'Little' excessive More than anything, Mig Productions isn't exactly a big company, at the end of the day, prices like this do more damage to big retailers like (for example) Squadron... It also, IMO, does damage to the guys like Mig who are doing their best to produce good quality material at a fair price. In the end - no-one wins...

DIdn't want to say it myself yesterday when I also posted under another thread about the DVD but I completely agree. Squadron, and Mission Models for that matter, should be ashamed of themselves for trying to suck the freaking blood out of people. As I explained on that thread, I ended up buying direct from MIG, even with MIG's minumun payment required. I simply purchased two jars of their pigment along with their DVD to make it at least 15 E and, including shipping, STILL came out less than buying from either Squdron or Mission Models. My suggestion for those in the US would be to buy straigh from MIG (hey, at least you can add another 5 Euro of stuff to your order, which it will still be cheaper) or, as Michael Rinaldi also suggested, get it from the UK since they seem to be a bit cheaper there.
