johnd Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I recently bought some Vallejo Model Air paint, not realising the significance of the 'Air' part of the title. It's really too thin to brush so I was wondering whether there's a way to thicken it. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicE1 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 We`ve had this question before! the answer is artists acrylic gel medium! it`s used by us artists to thicken paint when using an impasto technique! It can be bought at all good art suppliers and I`ve also seen it in some branches of the Works!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnd Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 Great, thanks! I did do a search on paint thickener but it didn't come back with any useful hits. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pte1643 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 As an "aside"... The Model Air metallic colours are great for brushing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jettnett2003 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I have brushed the Model Air paints with good results, albeit it takes a few coats but does the job just as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
