I just was checking out my local hobby store this past weekend and found this great new? product. It is granulated pigments in a small plastic bottle that works great for dust, mud, ect for my latest M1A1. I think it was about 3.00 a bottle, not sure as I bought some other stuff along with it. I am finished with the hull of my abrams so I decided to go ahead and weather it. I really like this vs. ground up pastels or chaulk as it seems to stick around longer, doesnt seem to rub off and really will change the color of the vehicles paint, like real weathering will. Weathered the whole hull, tracks and added a little thinned paint to creat a caked mud effect. Really good stuff. Also went ahead a dusted my crew figures, looks really good.
Any one else use or try this product?

is there a brand name on it??

Sorry, yes there is, MIG products, actually I found it online on their website.

Ahhh....yes these have been discussed Many times!!

Did you hear that the japanese bombed pearl harbor?

I thought that movie made money? #:-)

Don

You just bought some of the best as well as most expensive products.

Someone said no need to buy it, because you can chop up some pastel or chalk to do the same.

But once you have used it, you know the differences. Now there are lots of similar products out there, but I still perfer MIG.

There are dozens of ways to use it: mix with paint, mix with turpentine, with white spirit, ................. In the AFV Modeler #15, Mig has an excellent article showing how he did the weathering on a winter camo T34, using these pigments. Worth a read.

i love them too, they are IMHO much better than pastels.

pretty expensive though, and a little hard to get in this country unless you mail order them

cheers
