Do you need to thin the varnish to use it in an airbrush?
Yes, you need to thin every paint to use it in an airbrush.
Looks good but those varnish-blotches are tough. Don't think they might go away if you apply another coat?
I have a question regarding how you do the gradients? Do you start with the darkest color and then move on up or do you basecoat the whole thing in a middle-tone first and then apply the shadows and highlights "on top of" the basecoat?
The glossy areas will disappear after two coats of matt varnish, I just do that to protect the edges from rubbing off paint while handling the model. The mentioned patchy areas are actually not visible on the picture above and will be painted over.
For airbrushing, I start with a middle tone basecoat and then apply one layer of shading and two layers of highlights.
Ah! The patchy areas around the transfers are actually from the transfers, the ones you mentioned need blending in! I thought those were the varnish-spots!
Thanks for the tip!
