    @gblair - Hopefully my process works George... I guess, if it doesn't, you'll at least know what not to do. LOL

    Hi Brian (@brithebuilder): I have my popcorn and notebook ready! Do you plan to put this on YouTube?

    @gblair - It will most definitely be on YouTube George. Hopefully the skin tones go pretty quickly. The airbrush does make for quick work of the larger body parts.

    Progress. Conan is airbrushed with Barbarian Skin from Vallejo. The other two are a mix of a couple Vallejo skin tones. I may still have to do a small amount of touchup on the models themselves. The camera picks up things that are very difficult to see.

    Skin tones do look really nice, Brian @brithebuilder
    Indeed, for some reason cameras do show much more than what the eye can see.

    Mode adjusting of skin tones... so much potential variety. I added Mahogany to the Barbarian skin to get Conan to look more tan. I also toned the yellow down a bit. I think I'm done with the base skin tones though. I will be adding a few thin coats of Reikland fleshshade as well as purple, red & brown.

    A few washes airbrushed from below where shadows would be... red (carroburg crimson - citadel), sepia (seraphim sepia - citadel) and brown (dark brown wash - vallejo), all thinned more than normal using airbrush thinner. Then a lighter skin tone, the barbarian skin by itself, super thinned down with airbrush thinner... probably 5 parts wash to 1 part paint, airbrushed form above. I think the shadow and highlight pass definitely added volume.

    Really looking good, Brian (@brithebuilder). Are you airbrushing ModelAir, or are you thinning and spraying regular Vallejo? I have never tried to thin regular Vallejo, but I would bet it takes a ton of thinner to get them prepped to spray.

    @gblair - I am thinning Vallejo Model Color and Game Color paints. My local hobby store didn't have a great selection of Model Air colors. It seems like it's a 1:1 ratio of paint to thinner... as long as the paint looks basically like the thickness of skim milk.

    @fiveten - Thanks Spiros!

    @johnb - Appreciated John. I agree, the shadow/highlight pass definitely makes a difference.
