I’ve not used Vallejo before so I’m kind of guessing here…
But the usual rule of thumb for airbrushing paint is that it should be “the consistency of milk” – very fluid but thick enough that the pigment can have an effect. Supposedly model air is formulated to be sprayed without thinning it down first, so it’s possible that something else is…[Read more]
Hi, I’m new to airbrushing and still doing alot of practice (creating a clown gouf with all the paints I’m testing).
I’m using Vallejo paints, but sometimes I get bubble’s in my cup and my nossle get’s gloged resulting in bad paint work.
What’s the cause of this (not shaking long enough? airbrush not clean enough? too high psi? using 20) and what…[Read more]
what type of vallejo are you using? game? model colour or air colour? the game paint is a bit thicker, and the model colour is fine once you thin it down, but the model air range is made specifically for airbrushing, (tho i tend to thin those down sometimes as well.)

I have only used Vallejo once and if I remember correctly the hobby store guys said that you should use distilled water for thinning it and not anything alcohol based. Might be worth a shot.
I have found that I need to shoot Vallejo at a higher psi than most of the other paints I use… I think of it as I would a primer… If you thin it too much you lose some qualities of the paint such as adherence and coverage, so before you do any thinning, push up your psi. Like Ben said, mid 30s are a good place to start. If you ultimately do…[Read more]
Hi there, yes I have painted kits other than gundam in the past mainly armor. You can see some of my other work on the Armor & automotive threads. And many thanks.
basically i hard wired a led into the head, ran cables down and through the neck, and into the chest where above the pilots pit are the batteries and on/off switch which can be accessed from the hole in the back (where the pack peg plugs in), whenever i add electronics i try to make keep them hidden away. least on ones like this where the guy i…[Read more]
