A New Way to Shade your Minis with the Airbrush


Recommended Posts

Hi Vespasian,

 

Not sure what you mean. Like I said in the video, I've done this with enamels and Tamiya clear paints many times.

 

As for the AMMO shaders, bear in mind they are really subtle and can be used as a filter, for tonal variation, or to create streaks. I won't stop using enamels, but the convenience of these is amazing.

I mean did you try it for example with army painter shades or gw washes through the airbrush for panel modulation and so on?

 

Ah, ok. No, I haven't. I am not disputing you could get similar results with run of the mill acrylic washes, but from what I've seen they tend to flood the model and create spiderwebbing. I'd rather use a dedicated product that requires no thinning and no guesswork.

Fair enough I can see that.

Since I am currenrly painting a bunch of tanks I might try to punch up the contrast with regular wash through the airbrush. I already learned today that I need to thin my vallejo chipping medium. In the end I can always call it weathering and slap some enamels over it if it looks horrible.

Thin Vallejo Chipping medium? Are you sure? Definitely not the case with AK or Ammo...weird.
