All this is fascinating graham and everyone seems to be having the same problems with the eye dropper type acrylics. I must admit that i too used to almost exclusively use tamiya acrylics and never had a single problem spraying them. Brushing them was a different matter though so i started to use games workshop and the newly available vallejo for this. I was amazed at the range of colours vallejo did , compared to the fairly small range tamiya do so gradually built up a big stock of vallejo and started spraying thrse too . I experienced ( still do) the blocking , splattering , varying viscosity problems most other people have mentioned and must agree its likely a paint problem rather than a thinning or airbrush problem . Im grateful to you graham for making me re appraise tamiyas paints , they have always worked beautifully for me and maybe its time i started using them more again , cheers tony

Totally agree, I started off with them, then felt a need to go towards what everyone else was recommending. And I still love them for fine detail brushwork, so they'll always have a place on my shelves!
