toning down colours on a 1/35 Tamiya figure

[Jon Heptonstall]

I thin the mix but not as much as say a wash for a vehicle.Wiping off leaves a little colour in the shadow areas.

I don't know if this process is transferable to figures, but sometimes, when I finish an aircraft, I might spray a very fine light grey or brown over the model as a filter coat. This can tone everything down, tie it together sort of thing. Of course, you do need an airbrush.
