I read about this product in a recent issue of Model Railroader magazine. So did everyone else b/c when I tried to order it every merchant was sold out. I finally got it and it totally lives up to my expectations. Very easy to apply and control; produces a very pleasing effect.
Downsides:
It's expensive. The package contains a lot of product. Several lifetimes worth. The individual pans could be half the size and the retail price reduced somewhat.
The prepackaged kits do not contain enough variety of color to allow the use of one kit for basic needs. This kit contains many subtly different shades of gray/black which a basic modeler may not have the need for, and yet it contains no rust-like colors which would be very useful in combination with a few shades of gray/black.
If you know which colors to get you can buy them individually which is probably more cost-effective unless you want all of these colors at once.

I use these for weathering in model railroading. Though I use a fixative that is specific for pastels (Blair Matte Spray Fix), the pastels will still be altered. The lighter you applied the pastel the more it will "disappear" when fixed so you may loose that beautiful subtle effect you had achieved.When weathering static structures (buildings) this is no problem and they do not have to be fixed. However on my engines and rolling stock that may be handled it may still be advisable to fix the pastel. (However you must admit touching up pastel weathering is crazy easy)
