Just a thought, another product that i sometimes use are chalk pastels which I rub through a sieve which makes a fine dust. This is very similar to pigments and much cheaper.
hey man great video. i have a question , when i build a model i always follow the directions but some times it tells me to glue something that would make other area's more difficult to paint, do you ever steer off from the directions and build a part earlier for easier painting?
@ToAstYNaChO ALWAYS ! I always stray from the instructions.
Unless you paint as you build then it would be impossible to paint certain places if you build it all first.
Study the instructions and see what small "chunks" you can build, so when they're painted you put the chunks together and the model is finished. for example if you're building a truck you might paint the cab of the truck seperate, with the interior stuck to the chassis and the flatbed left off.
After a nearly fifty year absence from the modeling hobby I'm taking it up again and am finding these videos a gold mine of information, and professionally done. Thanks so much for posting these gems!
These tutorials are really really helpful, im 14 and im just starting to build full models with my dad, d you have any tips on how to weather aircraft?
Holy crap! Awesome video. I'm ordering pigments today. I very fond of all the Vallejo products so I'm interisted in there pigment line but I'm also interisted in the Mig line. I've heard great things about "Doc O'Brien's" Weathering Powders. Which ones do you recommend and why one over the other. Again, thanks for taking the time to make tutorials of such quality. It really helps with the learning curve. Please keep them coming.
I've not used any pigments other than Mig up until now. The reason is simply because they are the only product available locally so I got used to using them.
I will be trying vallejo pigments in future just out of curiosity. I can't possibly comment on any product other than Mig because I haven't used them.
I love Vallejo's paints. I use them almost exclusively now, especially their ModelAir range. I hope their pigments are as good as their paints - perhaps you could let me know in future
When I apply mud effects, I always take into account, the direction of travel, and gravity. Moving forwards, most mud is slung off on the roadwheels and such, nearest the back, where the track has first left the ground.
im a wargamer but the scale model community holds some great content for stuff like airbrushing and weathering. this vid helped a lot :-)

I used DRY MUD pigment for the dust, its quite light so contrasts nicely on the tyres and olive drab basecoat.

Nice job.
