Can anyone post a step by step on good weathering with the MIG pigments? i've tried it on several models and the results just don't look right.

Thanks

landshark, check out this link; http://www.missing-lynx.com/rare_world/rw05.htm. Also though many modelers, even the "masters", use them to great effect, they get the results they do from a lot of trial and error. I've been using them for a couple of years now and I'm just starting to reach the point where I'm getting the results I'm looking for.

Good luck,
Mike

well i cannot agree more than this. MIGs pigments are excellent for the job, but need really much experimentation, to get the good results. Experiment the quantities, the blending medium, the dry use, the wet use, the mixtures, U finally get good results but have to deal a lot with it . And u need mat surfaces , gloss wont work , even semigloss can break the effects

and when you give it a go,make notes of what you do.when you mix the amounts,write it down so you can check later on what did work and what not.hope this helps.
