Mouldlife in the UK do a nice flesh coloured pigment that is added at the initial mix. The piece can then be coloured post cure using skin illustrator or oil based paints.

Thanks for the advice what would you all recommend for thinning pigments for use with a airbrush and what do I seal the colors with if anything
