Nice comparison. When I paint TMM I leave the metallics for the end. That way I can matte varnish everything with my airbrush and then paint the metallics without dulling them. That means the metallics remain unvarnished (or at least it's not practical to varnish them with the airbrush), but I don't feel the need to varnish metallics since those paints are usually more durable than regular paint. Not a practical approach for models with a lot of metallic parts or for when you want to airbrush metallic paint, though.

Thank you so much! That's great advice, I think that could work on several paint schemes 👍

Late reply, but I prefer to do a compromise of this method. I basecoat and shade TMM areas, varnish, and then add TMM highlights on top with my brightest metallic paints. This means it's nice and easy to clean up mistakes while basecoating and shading, but I also get the shiny metallic effect with only a very tiny risk of accidentally painting other areas with my TMM highlights.

Thanks, that sounds like a great order to do the steps in 👍 I want to try that!

A varnish not a lot of people have lucked into is Vallejo's Mecha Satin varnish. The "Mecha" line paints are intended for gunpla and cure to a very hard finish - to account for movable parts rubbing against one another. The varnishes in the Mecha line form a really tough barrier, good for wargaming models which will be picked up and moved around a lot. The satin variant in Mecha has a luster which is a very good match for how Citadel paints dry, and don't dull metallics at all. Ever since finding it, it has become my go-to satin varnish.

Sounds very cool, I'll have to check that out!

Great tips and tricks here, thanks! Looking forward to the next vid on the Azog´s legion project

Thank you so much! I'm currently working on painting the Orcs, so that video is on its way 👍

3:1 matt to satin with 2:1 varnish to thinner through an airbrush at 20 psi is my go-to. I find two thin, consistent coats gives me a nice relatively matt finish that doesn't suck out all the color vibrancy. I've used it for fantasy/scifi/historicals and been happy with the results so far.

Thanks for sharing your recipe! 👍

@trotgun1563 Год назад

i needed this ! i got a air gun that i blocked within a hour and im to worried about brushing them on .

@KabinMiniatures Год назад

Cool, I'm glad the video was useful for you, my friend! 👍maybe I can do a dedicated video on airbrushing in the future, too? 🤔

@murrayfish6901 Год назад

Great video. I don't have an airbrush and am unlikely to get one in the near future - is there a particular spray on (i.e., rattle can) varnish you'd recommend? I gave up on Purity Seal years ago after a 'frosting' incident and tend to use Testors Dull Cote but that gives some pretty variable finishes from dead matt to semi-gloss.

@KabinMiniatures Год назад

Thanks! I only used Citadel rattle cans before I switched over to the airbrush, so unfortunately, I can't really recommend any other brands.

If u dilute the varnish what ratio would it be or how many drops

@KabinMiniatures 3 месяца назад

Yes, I dilute the varnish with water, but I don't measure it exactly... My estimate would be maybe a 1:1 mix? I put a little water in a cup and add varnish drop by drop until it has become a "milky" consistency.
