Kurgan the Lurker Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Saw this over on FrothersUK: MDP are pleased to announce their launch of Pro Pigments, a range of weathering powders made from high quality natural earth pigments for use by modellers who wish to achieve realistic and authentic looking finishes, especially with military and railway enthusiasts where a weathered look is far more desirable. The pigments are commonly mixed with thinners to create a paste or mixed with acrylic resins or varnish and glues to replicate urban, rural, industrial or warfare surface conditions like: dust, dirt, mud, rust or surfaces that are in a state of damage or repair. They can also be mixed with varnish to paint our range of display plinths and blocks as well as ground effects on our range of gaming bases. Available in 12 colours individually or as a set, all our pigments can be mixed to obtain different colours and shades. Red Ochre (MDP-PP001) a dark rust colour, mix with yellow ochre for light rust Burnt Sienna (MDP-PP002) red brick dust or a dark clay earth Red Oxide (MDP-PP003) aged rust, mix with yellow ochre for light rust Yellow Ochre (MDP-PP004) a yellow sand colour that can also be mixed with red ochre, burnt sienna or red oxide to vary rust colours Raw Sienna (MDP-PP005) a good colour for a light dust or desert dust Mexico Yellow (MDP-PP006) an ideal colour for a dry tropical earth or jungle earth such as that found in Vietnam or can be used to give variations of colour to rust Raw Umber (MDP-PP007) suitable for dry mud Burnt Umber (MDP-PP008) suitable for fresh mud, mix with a gloss varnish if you want that wet mud effect Van Dyke Brown (MDP-PP009) a very dark earth with a red hue suitable for Eastern European mud Cassel Earth (MDP-PP010) similar to van dyke brown but has a grey hue to it and gives a very good concrete, city dust or ash effect when mixed with titanium white Vegetable Black (MDP-PP011) very good for simulating soot Titanium White (MDP-PP012) can be used on its own or mixed with any of our other pigments to vary the colours and effects. www.modeldisplayproducts.co.uk Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/236138-new-line-of-pigments/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Pigments seem to be in vogue, I think. I'm still getting to grips with using them properly, though. :rolleyes: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/236138-new-line-of-pigments/#findComment-2844898 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alleton Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I've still not really figured out how to use them, the few sources I've read seemed to imply they are just dusted on the model without any kind of adhesive? (Except possibly a dullcoat over them.) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/236138-new-line-of-pigments/#findComment-2845971 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Wilhelm Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Sorry for my naivety. Are these weathering powders or something else? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/236138-new-line-of-pigments/#findComment-2846061 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Noble Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I'd be interested to see how they stand up to the Forgeworld powders. Or even the Doc O'Briens Weathering Powders. -J Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/236138-new-line-of-pigments/#findComment-2846499 Share on other sites More sharing options...
antilles13 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Sorry for my naivety. Are these weathering powders or something else? From what the website says, yeah looks to be weathering powders that you just dust on without any adhesive.

Kurgan the Lurker Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 Good article here on Pigments vs. Weathering powders as they do differ: http://www.bigscalemodels.com/tips/tipsfil...ing-powders.pdf http://www.bigscalemodels.com/tips/tipsfil...ng-powders2.pdf Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/236138-new-line-of-pigments/#findComment-2846626 Share on other sites More sharing options...
