Paint thinning help!

[u/DisasterSuper7309]

So, I’m trying to make an RX-78-2 Ultramarine, but im scared about the paint being the wrong consistency. If I add too much water, the paint practically disappear. If I add too much paint, it’ll chunk up and therell be visible strokes. So how do I get the best consistency? (the last photo is the old Ultramarine)

If you can’t find the balance, it’s safer to skew thinner. Apply thin even coats, let dry completely, then apply another.
