Who would be the best source for weathering materials in the US? Paints, washes, filters, pigments, etc. Ideally I would like to stick with one "system" but no idea which to choose. AK and Migg the same? Different?

Thanks!

Mig uses enamels for their washes while the Vallejo system uses acrylic washes.

Redfroghobbies is a good one stop source for weathering products.

Everyone have is own fafourite,Ak and Ammo Mig are very similar,and are all made from Enamel,i prefere Ammo only becose they have a stiker on top made easyer to find what i need in my draw but i have little bit of both

Vallejo are acrylics

Personaly i prefere Enamel stink but is a lot more controllabe and easy to play with
