    Weathering powder

    While I haven't looked for weathering powder locally, does anyone know where to get some? I'm having a hard time finding them online from a place that doesn't want to charge an arm and a leg for shipping. By the way, I found the tutorial that was posted here and plan to watch it.

    Thanks!

    King's Hobby on Lamar has some and I have seen a limited selection at Hobby Lobby.

    Thanks! King's looks like it's pretty close to where I work, so I should be able to head over there tomorrow.

    The Hobby Lobby on South Lamar near the GW store had quite a selection, about 5 different kinds with three colors each, Tamiya weathering powders.

    You can wait for one of there 40% coupons to show up if you sign up for their emails.

    Eh, I will give my money to someone local first, then anyone other than Hobby Lobby.

    If you can't find what you are looking for locally, check out http://coloradominiatures.com and http://secretweaponminiatures.com.

    I'm partial to the Mig pigments, but Secret Weapon makes a great new fixer that dries quickly. Good if you are doing a bunch of bases and don't want to wait long.

    I ended up ordering some MIG smoke black and the Secret Weapon fixer on eBay. I got a small set at King's that I'm sure I'll use at some point, but I really wanted a black for an exhaust effect for the stormtalon I'm working on now. The darkest things they had was a dark brown and the dark grey in the set I got and I don't think those would look right.

    If you find the SW fixer dries a little too quickly, try the MIG fixer-- it gives you a longer working time.
