Acrylic Reducing Mediums

What paints are you using? The consistancy of "milk" is pretty much the standard used for airbrushing.

 

To clarify I just got the airbrush yesterday, and the paints that I normally use are acrylic water soluble...from Citadel miniatures(games workshop) I hear tamiya are great. They are thicker than milk I gues I used the wrong analogy they are easy to thin with water however I heard I could use alcohol as a reducing medium.

denatured alcohol or tamiya paint thinner will both do fine.  from my experiments i prefer the Tamiya thinner on the citadel acrylic because of the additional retarder compared to alcohol, but you better mix it out of the bottle since I once tried to just add a lil more thinner to the bottle itself so i can better paintbrush with them and the paint dried out a lot faster inside the bottle.  also do add a final varnish coat to your miniatures since the paint is more prone to damage from handling.

I will try this out...and see if it works thanks for the info
