You might also think about looking at MMP pigments/powders. They're simialar to the MIG pigments, but blend an acrylic binder into the powder, which can help it adhere better and allows for some additional application technique variations. They don't come in the fancy little containers like the MIG pigments, but they're quite a bit cheaper. I picked up what was a complete set at the time (they've added some colors) of like 20 jars for like $60 at a show. Online they're available from the online store at ww2modelmaker.com.

Good luck,
Curtis

P.S. Make sure you use a mask with any of these--they're non-toxic, but the dust is a serious inhalation irritant.
