Can someone please tell me what is the big difference between the Doc O' Brians weathering powders and MIG Professional Series Pigments? The Doc O' Brians weathering powders set consist of these colors:
Rusty Brown
Rusty Red
Dirty Brown
Grimy Black
Gritty Yellow
Desert Sand
Grungy Gray
Patina Green
Highlight White
Muddy Red
Mildew Green
Is there really a big difference?

Well, I can't tell you the difference, but I have the Doc's powders and they work pretty well. I've been wanting to try some of MiG's powders as well.

Hi fellas sawe MIGS powders at AMPS but was put off buying them by the price. I have two basic sets of pastels at home and they accomplish in my opinion the same thing for alot cheaper .unless you're real lazy about scraping some chalk pastels to get the powder save your money.

I second that! Except for the AMPS meeting part, which I have never been to because I'm not a member and there is no chapter here anyway and there is a rumor that I am a bit anti-social anyway.
But I do second the part about the chalk pastels working just as well.

Just my 2 cents worth...

I've never used the Mig pigment so I have no idea about them..

I purchased the Doc O'brien weathering powders about a year ago and they are one of the best investments i've made yet. The range of colors can allow you to weather just about any military vehicle with ease....and the best thing is a little goes a Long ways..... the set i have will prob last me for many years to come.

I also have pastel chalks if I need another color but i"m basicly lazy and like the convenience of the pre ground powders.

I never heard of Doc O'brien weathering powders.

Is there a website where I can learn more about the product and its price?

Ronny,

I was curious also, here is the website I found.

Try to go to your local arts craft store. There you can get the very same pigments for 2.5 Euros a kg!!!

The only place i've seen to get the Doc O'brien weathering powders is on the Micromark website.. I think they are the exclusive supplyer.

I think the powders are pastel chalks that are ground extreamly fine.. I do know they are easy to apply with a paintbrush to models.

here is a link to the product page
