Interested in getting some Mig Pigments but they are quite pricey and I will have to mail order.
So could you recommend a starter set of 5 or 6 pigments that would cover most of he needs of a beginner.
My area of interest is mostly Western Europe but I do have some North Africa models to complete aswell.
Cheers,
Nigel

The mud and dirt sets come in handy.Europe dust,Light dust.Dark and light mud,russian earth,Industrial city dirt.I also use black soot and standard rust a lot.Get the idea? just start with a variety of diffrent soils and dirts.Don't get hungup on the color designations,most guys will mix pigments to get the look they want.The initial outlay is expensive,but the pots will last quite awhile

For purchase, I would recommend having a look at Ebay.
