i got my MMP weathing powders in the mail to day.
so i tryed them out on my brumbar and my dingo.
i used rubbing alcohel to mix them u can use water but the alcohel drys faster,
the alcohel truned the brumbar white, i dont know why but it did.
may be i used 2 much alcohel . i did a wash lol. and put it all over the tank.
and after it dryed it truned white so u guys have any clues what i did wrong

The alcohol most likely reacted to the dullcoat or Future coat. I had it happen to me once.

You should try Meths or pure turps...better that Rubbing A

I've been using Doc Obrien's weathering powders with a mixture of distilled water, and a tiny drop of dishsoap, works great for me....

I mix enough 'GlassPlus' in with regular tap water to break the surface tension of the water then drop in powdered pastels which have been mixed with about 10% model railroad 'ballast cement'. The pastels gather in crevices and on the various surfaces quite randomly and naturally while the ballast cement fastens the grunge quite securely. Slobber the water/GlassPlus on the item to be made yucky and apply however much pastel/ballast cement mix you think appropriate. Works great. See below...

shoulda used Mig Pigments!

HEHE...I got a nice 6 pack of Mig Pigments in the mail today......too bad I can't keep them!!!

Maybe I can win them!!! LOL

I have used both MIG and MMP powders. My method is to mix a bit of Tamiya thinner with the powder until I achieve the consistancy of a fairly thick wash and then shoot it thru the airbrush. I prefer the Tamiya thinner because it is non-toxic, or at least as compared to turpentine (I'm not a chemist, but my nose and the headaches don't lie!) and it is formulated specifically for use by modellers. Shoot some distilled water thru the brush and your ready for another round. I would post a picture or two if I had a camera that worked but I am out of luck on that score. Maybe some others that have seen my LVT or Firefly can vouch for the effect; Andrew?
