Another quick question for the group.

Read a lot about using pigments for weathering. Having some trouble finding them although. None of the local hobby stores stock them or has a way to order them.

I heard that Mig Pigments are still around but don't have a good online store to buy them.

Also, can't seem to find anywhere a site to get Hudson & Allen Studio products. They don't seem have a website either and some are saying they are not in business anymore. Is this true?

Can someone suggest an online store to buy them (either of them)? I have looked at the Michigan Toy Solider Co but are there any other places?

Also, anybody used both and have a preference? Is there any difference between them?

Thanks,

Marty

I have used MIG pigments and like them. Locally here in Kansas City (not sure where in MO you are from) Hobby Haven on Metcalfe has started to carry them recently on a trial basis. You can also buy MIGs online at missionmodels.com and I have also tried and used a brand sold by Micromark.com called "Doc O'Brien's" which they sell as a railroad product and had good luck with those also. I am strictly a novice when it comes to pigments though so I haven't tried any of the really cutting edge ways of using them.

I haven't used the other ones so I can't comment. Good luck and I hope this helped.

I got mine from http://www.internethobbies.com/mig-productions-pigments.html They have pretty much everything and shipping was uber-quick. Never heard of hudson and allen. Just about any other art supply can be found at misterart.com

I've gotten my latest MIG pigments from Spruebrothers, but you can also find them at VLS (www.modelmecca.com) and Great Models (easily found thru the search bar at the very top of the screen on this site).

In addition to the MIG products, I also use the MMP Pigments. I find them to bit a bit more subdued and finer grain, but they're harder to find.

Hi Marty,
I have a huge box of Hudson and Allen - had a quick look but no pigments.
If your after other H&A stuff let me know - I'd forgotten how beautiful their 1/35 tree leave sheets are - the black oak ones are just supberb.
Cheers,
AndyD

A good place to get art supplies is www.dickblick.com I do not think that Hudson and Allen have pigments, but they do have the best watercolors and paint brushes.

Hey all,

Thanks for all the help on this. Thanks too to Rob. I work near Metcalf in KC and went there tonight and picked up about half their line up of MIG pigments.

Will give it a shot and get back to the group how it looks.

Thanks again!

Doesn't anybody look at the dates on posts before they post a reply. The question was asked four years ago !!!

Indeed the person who asked the question hasn't logged in at armorama since January 2009. Still it got answered and it's good to see you are still in business. Hopefully in the intervening four years Marty found your site and the items he wanted.
