Hi Just got a set of 4 MIG pigments in the mail today and I see that they can pretty well be mixed with just about anything and work. And I see that they can be put on dry for certain applications of dust and rust. But if I want to use a liquid with these powders, what is a good ratio of one to the other to use? I want to try to add a heavy dusting of "Russian Earth" to a Russian T-34, and then a light dusting of "European Dust'"to top it off and lighten things up some. But of all the info. I've read on these things, I've never seen any ratio of one to the other mentioned. Is there any certain ratio used that works best for those who used them? And does it differ from one liquid to another?

Thanks in advance. Take care, Sgirty

All depends what you want the end result to look like ...If you want clumpy mud well not much what so ever but if you want it to look like a wash you add more and even more for the filter effect .. I think its all up to you ....Good luck with them ..I'm sure it'll look awesome.
