Mig is back!

Post by PhildaFish »

I'm not sure how many of you already know this but Mig Jiminez is back with his own company this time, called 'Ammo' with the outstanding tag line of "What good is an AK without AMMO?"

His new website is here: http://www.migjimenez.com/en/

I would think he would have to make some change to the mix so it won't be exactly the same. .. legal stuff and so

It doesn't matter if it's exactly the same, I would guess it'll be the same stuff

I've only got a few AK products, but I wish him all the luck in the world! I know what it's like to be screwed over by someone you trust (yes, family!). It's good to see he has some loyal friends around him.

He seems to have a following. I haven't used any of his stuff yet but might make a good test.

Yeah... Dr. Cranky posted on the web yesterday !!!

I might RE-Label my AK bottles...

I know the Paint company Owner.... that made the paints and bottled the AK stuff has Terminated his association with AK.... and went with Mig !

so AK ... is left hanging !

The Magazines are back with MIG....
His Washes and Streaking and pigments... and I figure... he will reel in the rest...

so... AK is basically fudged !

what will throw me off is the Name changes... for the products ...
as pigment names... and stuff.. for a while anyway!

I wish him well ! I can't live without my MIG JIMENEZ stuff !


Thanks for posting this!
Good news in deed !

I think we need to get Mig onto the forum......

I am at the point in my modelling where I want to start adding in the use of these "special" effects for weathering etc, and I for one will be buying Mig's stuff rather than AK stuff, I think his work out a touch cheaper as well do they not? Or are they comparable on price?

Nha its not really cheaper !

its a niche market... so its ... priced ok!

I hope Lucky Models will pick up the new LINE and give us a break on the price...

Watch for a sale of ak stuff on luckymodels.

Follow the ammo and not the ak for he is a nonbeliever.

AK America was the same
That's why I am waiting for Lucky model Hong Kong
To pick it up!

USA to Canada = 20$ shipping for 1 bottle
China to Canada = 3$. For same bottle!

My math has been bad for years
But that is Wallet friendly!

Hope you like the new products?
When ever you come across them!

They're all out of stock bud, but it does mean that they are imminent for John.

I take it that these will be exactly the same as the AK colours then?

I did see that after I posted it. But like you said at least there is a way to get it in the uk.
