Airbrush figure paints for models & minis

Airbrush figure paints

Pinting figures is one of the most expressive branches of the hobby, and choosing the right tools can completely transform the way skin, shadows and character details come to life. This collection brings together a full selection of airbrush figure paints created for hobbyists who want smooth blends, consistent transparency and natural-looking tones. Whether you paint anime-style characters, military miniatures, garage kits or fantasy figures, these colors offer an easy way to achieve believable results with less effort.

Most items featured here belong to the popular GSI Creos Mr.Color Lascivus series, well-known for its ability to reproduce subtle variations in skin tone. From warm highlights to cool shadows, each jar is engineered to atomize smoothly through an airbrush, helping painters control saturation and color temperature with precision. Artists who want to work on figures of all scales—from 1/35 to larger resin kits—can count on this lineup to deliver predictable performance and excellent coverage.

What’s in this collection

The selection includes a wide range of figure-focused paints designed to create realistic or stylized effects, depending on your project. Among the most requested options you’ll find:

• A variety of Lascivus Gloss colors, perfect for soft transitions on skin, cheeks, lips and subtle undertones.
• Special Aura tones that help achieve fantasy effects, dramatic stylization or vibrant character palettes inspired by anime and manga.
• Clear shades that allow artists to build depth layer by layer without overpowering details in the sculpt.
• Dedicated sets like the Cutie Girls Figure Fresh Color Set, ideal for beginners who want a straightforward starting palette for figure projects.
• Additional modeling essentials such as select Tori Factory figures and the Ángel Giráldez BSL Color System, offering complementary tools for figure painters who want to expand their workflow.

Each color behaves consistently under different thinning ratios, allowing you to choose between transparent glazes or more opaque applications depending on your style. Whether you spray directly from the bottle or adjust your mix for advanced shading techniques, these airbrush figure paints keep edges soft and transitions smooth, helping you focus on expression rather than technical limitations.

Benefits, uses, and practical tips

Working with paints designed specifically for figures provides major advantages that general-purpose paints often cannot replicate. Many skin-tone formulations in the Lascivus series include micro-pigmentation that prevents chalkiness, a common issue when building highlights on large surfaces like cheeks, torsos or legs. Their balance between saturation and transparency makes it easier to correct mistakes or gently push shadows without muddying the sculpt.

Painters who prefer airbrushing delicate areas will appreciate how these colors atomize. The pigments remain stable even at low PSI, which means blush tones, warm highlights and shadow glazes settle naturally into the contours of the figure. When combined with a fine-detail airbrush, these paints allow you to recreate subtle gradients that would normally require time-consuming brushwork.

Some practical ideas to get the most out of this collection include:

• Creating multi-layered skin by starting with a mid-tone base, adding cool shadows, then finishing with warm highlights over the cheeks and shoulders.
• Using transparent clear shades to refine undertones or create fantasy hues for anime-style characters.
• Blending Aura colors with standard Lascivus tones to build custom palettes for stylized or supernatural figures.
• Working in thin layers to avoid texture buildup, especially on large resin kits where smoothness is essential.
• Combining these paints with brush details for eyes, lips or hair, taking advantage of the soft gradients created by the airbrush.

Whether you are building your first figure or upgrading your professional workflow, these airbrush figure paints offer control, consistency and creative freedom. Their versatility makes them a favorite among miniature artists, garage kit builders and custom figure painters who want reliable tones designed specifically for character work.
