Re: Coloured Dust - Blog
Just to give my personal opinion - I must say I am disappointed with those AK INTERACTIVE products.
First almost all those are enamel products, so for most of us that paint with acrylic paints those are useless or very hard to use. Because to get the effects they are for you need to use a thinner which damages the paint underneath. Of course you can put an 'safety coat' of varnish on the miniature/vehicle before, but that usually results in loss of contrast or makes the miniature glossy.
Second, all those washes can be easily self made with diluting paint and adding a bit of medium. Then you apply those just as normal glazes to get the desired effect.
Third are chipping, worn, etc. effects - those work as hair spray, just that they are in fluid form.
Pigments are ok, but a bit pricey. You can get cheaper ones and I don't think they vary much in quality.
My critic is not against you. It's nice of you, that you keep the modellers informed about available products! This is just my opinion about those products, which few I bought and I consider wast of money.
