appiah4 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Just curious, can you use those Folk Art paints thru an airbrush? I've never used one, but I very much doubt it because the paint out of the tube is 1) very thick and needs considerable thinning, 2) It's not very thin friendly and kind of resists dissolving in water slightly, probably because of the medium, the medium is kind of oily, but with some work it can be thinned to a brush paintable consistency for models, 3) It dries rather fast.

CarbonCopy Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Yes, you can thin Folk Art Acrylic paints for airbrush use. True, the pigment grind is not as fine as some. If thinned properly, any paint will go through an airbrush with minimal issue. I use a 1/1/3 ratio of paint/Future Acrylic Floor Polish/Water to thin most acrylics for airbrush use, with adjustment as needed. Personally, for cheap craft paints, Delta Ceramcoat is better and often for the same price. I find FolkArt's pigment grind a bit too chalky most of the time. Especially white from FolkArt.

Razelim Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 Well I got to a local Comic Book store that sells Warhammer 40k stuff and got around on picking up 4 things to start on my practice... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v113/Cold_Killer/DSC00779.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v113/Cold_Killer/DSC00780.jpg I know It's not enaugh paint (this is only paints for practice) but im just using this figure i bought for like 3 dollars to practice. Also bought a "Fine Detail Brush" . Also, From all I hear about Vallejo I decided to go ahead and buy 2 bottles - it was that vs Reaper or Citadel (which is epic small and expensive as hell). Any tips on thinning down Vallejo? And once again, thanks guys :) :) :) :) :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/237093-let-me-get-this-straight/page/2/#findComment-2861648 Share on other sites More sharing options...
