hello all.
Well, Our pigments is very close to the part supplies pigments. All pigments around the world is the same more or less, but the different is in the fineness of the pigment, they are very refined, specially for modelling. The art supplies pigments could to be a bit rough, thick (with any exceptions)
But the main difference is the colors. Except the white and black, the Mig pigments is a mixture specially for our tanks and dioramas. Is the same colors that I am used to use, and the modeller can found the same effect because he can use the same color. If you buy in a art supply store, you must buy much more colors for make a mud or rust pigment.
Maybe is a bit cheap in a art store, but finally you must spend much more money.
Is not only the difference of price. I spend a lot of effort for make a nice color for mud or dust, and you have the guarantee that if you use a dust color, your final look in your model will be dust color, not yellow or coffee, or other different one.
Alos, in other pleces in the world, is impossible to buy a small quantity of each color of pigment in supply stores. I don't know how is in US.
Anyway, if any of you can buy a nice pigment in other art place...I recomend you if it is cheaper and better. Our colors is only for people that haven't another resource, like me. ;-)
Any way, if I can give you any advice for use it, even if is another pigment, I will be very glad for do it.
Sincerily
