AK Interactive (and probably other companies) make pigment fixers - they dry matte and, used carefully allow you to build up 'piles' of pigment/chalk/dirt. AK also makes a fixer for actual sand and gravel that works fine with pigments.
For the comments about needing to varnish and the varnish dulling down the pigments you can seal the base with a pastel fixative spray that will both seal the pigment and not dull the pigment. Just clear coat the mini separately and add it to the base after the fact.
Just varnish the whole thing then add pigments at the end via a pigment wash with water or whatever. Adjust with a brush. Then drop matt medium on them and that will fix them. Pigments should always be the very last thing added
@@Pewpro Here's a Midwinter Minis video where he demonstrates it, but this has been used by old-timers for literal decades, when this video was released there was a chorus of "Yeah, that works well, have been doing this for ages" from them :P ua-cam.com/video/dH0sPbnzrFQ/v-deo.html
Those look excellent! Particularity like the texturing paste you made up. I've also found dollar store spices like cinnamon can work as an excellent budget alternative for modeling pigments. Thanks for another great tutorial 😁
My money's on just another minimal effort insurance to turn it that gray it becomes; if he misses a spot during priming (easier than it seems), all that pokes through is THAT color, not Spackle Hot Pink.
If you don't seal those with a varnish, they will lose all that powder in no time. The varnish will dull down the pigments also. So, unless those are intended to be exposed only, you can't use them to play.
Don't you need to varnish those? It feels like that stuff is gonna fall right off with regular use.

Then you discover that crushed chalk-style pastels cost a fraction of the price of the hobby pigments and work nearly as well :)
Woah Woah Woah..... What are you talking about sir?

@@jherazob dude!! Thanks pal! I've been putting off a few ideas cause pigments are insanely expensive where I live. This changes everything
@@Pewpro Happy to help :)
I love your tutorials
Thx for this video. You makes an amazing job

Will this pigment not rub off? Do you not need to seal it somehow?
Hail all
How do you varnish them to keep the pigments in place?
Any good source of textured plasticard in the US?
Great tutorial! May I ask, how come you add ink to the wall spackle mixture if you prime the model afterwards anyway?

@@hammer326 Good point, thank you!
You d'not use fixer?? for the pigments??
And soon as you sneeze, all the pigment is gone.
Poggers as per
Where did you buy this particular styrene?
Greenstuffworld sells it!
But how to you fix the pigments???
If you don't seal those with a varnish, they will lose all that powder in no time. The varnish will dull down the pigments also. So, unless those are intended to be exposed only, you can't use them to play.
You would probably do that as part of sealing the whole miniature, so they would get sealed in that step.
Lovely 💕💕💕💕💕 lol jk
Hopefully you get the joke 🤞
Bruh wear gloves when you airbrush
I didn’t wear gloves for the longest time and I walked around looking like an idiot with my painted left hand
How many times can you say then in 4 mins? find out in the video above! :D
