MIG FAQ DVD Vol. 1
MIG have produced an excellent DVD all about using their pigments (or to be honest, any pigments at all really) for weathering military vehicles. The production quality is really quite good, with clear examples worked from beginning to end (minus drying time, obviously) and a fairly good voice-over. The beginning segment of the DVD is incredibly cheesy, but thankfully over quickly and largely irrelevant to the actual content.
I've used the MIG pigments before for rusting and weathering my Imperial Guard tanks and i've never been completely happy with the results. They're good, but they just don't look as good as the stuff in magazines or the Modelling Masterclass book from Forgeworld (not really surprising I guess, they are the experts in the field). Watching this has shown me a lot, including the fact that i'm not putting enough pigment on and that layering several shades is vital for a realistic look. Also that I don't really need to worry about where the pigment is going because, until the fixer is applied, it's all removable with a finger or cloth.
I think next time I approach weathering a vehicle, it's going to be looking a lot better now. I did start watching Vol. 2, which is all about the modulation style of airbrushing and basecoating models, but I fell asleep halfway through and missed most of it. I'll report on that one when I get a chance to watch it in full.
