   Do you know how to thin the artist’s acrylic paints (i.e. Artist’s Loft brand) for use in an airbrush? I’ve heard that this can be done and I’ve tried to thin the paint with 70% alcohol, but I can’t seem to get the right consistency.

     Hi Dave. I haven’t had much luck using thinned acrylic artist paints for airbrushing. I recommend you try Scalecoat II.
     Thanks

   Ticket 27322‬ Question for session: I’ve heard about a new NMRA “animation” standard being developed. Is there anything posted yet or ways industry can contribute/cooperate?
