Hi guys, I got a few washes (green and black) that seem a bit thick. If i wash a mini, it colors (makes all washed areas darker) rather then flow in the cracks. Thin with water? or (airbrush) thinner? Also, the green wash i have is a bit light. Just mix it with the black wash to make it darker? PS: related question. Wash before highlighting (with airbrush) or after? I am a bit worried that when i wash first, that i will airbrush over the washed parts and 'lighten' up the darker areas again. But when washing after highlights will i not darken the highlighted areas?
It was so obvious: Airbrush Flow improve. It stays liquid quite a while longer allowing for nice control. I did 1 : 1 parts. Still would like some advice on how to change was colors. When i add back, it just seems to turn gray..
Are you using wash or ink? If you want to have a light black wash, i'd suggest going with vallejo model colour ink, and then diluting it 5:1 water to ink (so, two drops would be 10 drops of water). It should give you the effect you want.
Here is an example of brushed on purple ink and a white drybrush over some of that. That technique turned out nice on this even though I'm not entirely happy with the rescuplted leg. I haven't finished it yet, maybe a gloss on this one... and I haven't figured out what I wanted the base to be like yet. I've started using an airbrush for basecoating, but this model is older. edit: and looking at it, I wish I had removed the hair. Maybe I will do that and repaint it.
