Came across PanPastel weathering powders when checking out Model Railway News online - wondering if anyone has used them?

They also have a short demo on YouTube:

Haven't seen these as they appear to be a new product esp with their limited list of stockists. Would be interested to see how what the pricing for them is given all the various tools and applicators - seems like scope to make your own from cosmetic sponges

Cheers

REminds me very much of the weathering kits and tools that Tamiya provides, and the applicators can probably be had quite a lot cheaper at Superdrug or Boots etc.
However be aware that when you're testing the various kinds of applicators in the cosmetics isle, depending who you are, the shop staff might look at you with 'interests' shall we say?

Yes it did me too - looking at it one advantage is that you get a big pot of each colour, I have Tamiya sets where i've nearly finished one colour but hardly touched the others, so being able to just buy the colours you use lots of and ignore the others may be an advantage?

Cosmetic sponges were no problem in my local Boots. That said I got my wife to purchase my make up brushes I use for pigments and as for false eye lashes for anti spray skirts for UPS trailers, that was strictly mail order!

I order them on-line, but wear a dress whilst doing so. My heels are presently killing me.

I know the feeling Brian, but that was during a fancy dress party, and on equally painful wooden clogs, why did I have to be dressed as a 'dutch girl' I still don't know (I looked more like the bearded lady) , probably to do with generous amounts of red grape juice being on offer.... I guess that was all a little too much information....

I'm getting a bit worried about you lot - rather wondering what I have started!

Love that frock, John. TopShop?

OK, enough....

yes, have used them, followed the same series, I'm really impressed by the ease of working with them , highly recommend it. They may appear expensive but they'll last a long time.
