Hi guys,
I got an error 404 while looking for the powders !
Did I miss anything ?
If the famous powders are indeed out of production, what are good remplacements ?
Thx !
i use mig but bought them years ago. they work well for me.
Check out my gallery here Also I've started taking photos to use as reference for weathering which can be found here. Please send me your photos so they can be found all in one place!!
Do a search for ‘weathering powder’ in eBay or amazon and you should get what you’re looking for. Typically you want a variety of earth tones, iron, black, and other specifically to your needs.
Ok I went to greenstuff world (I don't know if it's only an european company or if it works in America too though) and they do have a lot of weathering powders ("pigments") including liquid ones.
Wtf are liquid ones used for ?
How are they different ?
(I'm a real beginner in this so I'm looking for informations before buying and using them)

Dry pigments are what you want; apply them with a clean brush at the very end of your painting, just before matte varnishing. Wet pigments I’ve not used, but I imagine them being like oil colors, go in creases of tanks, typically applied with a thin small brush going downwards underneath a metal nut.
I've never used liquid pigments but I envisage then being similar to liquid weight lifters chalk, where the liquid suspension medium evaporates away? I don't know..anyway I second mig.
I apply pigments last. Dead last. Varnish will mess them up. Apply them and leave them.
Ok so I guess I'll receive them before the end of the week and I'll be able to test and show some results this weekend, it should be good as I want to use them on already painted models.
I'll probably try dray pigments and one wet one just in case !
FYI there are also weathering pencils. I use the AK ones. They can be used either dry or wet, when used wet they behave a bit like liquid weathering products. If you crave for extra precision, the weathering pencils are a good addition to the toolbox.
