    As long as they are chalk pastels they will work OK, could do with a few darker shades in the range but they will give you a start and you will be able to mix them to get plenty of variation in tone.

    I can see using only the 2 left-most and 2 right-most for weathering, These are great for final weathering after all coats are applied but I don`t see much use for the bright colours. Can`t beat the price though. Good chalk pastels at art stores are outrageously expensive IMHO.

    I don't normally use chalks but take a look at the two sets below.

    Those are Sargent Art Square chalk pastels (Earthtone and Graytone respectively). Each set is 4.99$ at Dick Blick Art Materials.

    Great deal Dwight. The few pastels I bought at Michaels cost way more than that and they came in pairs or fours for the colours I wanted. I bought them anyway since they will last me quite a long time.
