Im about to try airbrush for about 25-30 minatures. My thought is to go priming, zenithal priming and varnish. How much will I need of the following :

- Vallejo Auxiliaries: Polyurethane Varnish 60/200 ml
- Vallejo Surface Primer: Grey 60/200 ml
- Vallejo Auxiliaries: Airbrush Thinner 17/32/200 ml

Regards

Unless it takes like weeks for resupply AND you will be doing eventually more no point getting more than 1.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781619/10604787.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781619/10604787.page GMT Re:How much airbrush thinner do I need? ml is a okay start for this set of miniatures?

YMMV so I kinda just want to caution you not to buy 200ml of thinner unless you know it's gonna work for you.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781619/10604901.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781619/10604901.page GMT How much airbrush thinner do I need?

A little alternative advice here. I've actually never used the airbrush thinner (I have a 32ml bottle), but I use airbrush flow improver and water as needed to find a good paint consistency. I don't have first hand observations but I've read the thinner actually speeds up the drying time meaning you get a lot more "dry tip" issues. Flow improver slows up the drying time somewhat meaning you should get less dry tip issues. YMMV so I kinda just want to caution you not to buy 200ml of thinner unless you know it's gonna work for you.
The "flow aid" can help as said but I find it then lays heavy in panel lines and things you do not want obscured, a drying "retarder" will help more with ensuring no "fuzzy" paint where it partially dries before hitting the model and allows a more even laying down of the paint. I find that primer seems to shrink down nice when it dries so i do not foresee any issues.

Side note: I had just sprayed with GW black "paint" in a can and I could not see a difference in colour/shade when I did the touch-up by brush with the Vallejo polyurethane primer... that was neet to see.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781619/10604916.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781619/10604916.page GMT
