Vallejo makes plain acrylic medium, glaze medium, and even a metallic medium (so you can create metallic paints in any color you want).

For the Model Color, use the Thinner Medium. You just need 1 or 2 drops of this thinner for a drop of Model Color. Too much will make your paint have a watery/runny consistency.
On the other hand, use the Airbrush Thinner for the Model Air. It works best with a Retarder Medium. Vallejo's air brush thinner is quite tricky to use though. You have to get the right paint to thinner ratio that will work best with your air brush. Try out different combinations on an old kit or a plastic sheet before painting your models.
EDIT: There's also an air brush flow improver from Vallejo.
I've been struggling with realistic looking bone myself, but I think I nailed it on my latest attempt, the chimney stacks on my Carnifex's back came out pretty good:
Carnifex 1
Carnifex 2
I did this by layering up to bleach bone starting with a dark brown using really thin coats. But that's for painting a flat surface.
Nid-flesh is all about washes, so I'd probably start with one shade darker than bleached bone, wash brown, then 2 thin layers of bleached bone on top. I find it helps a lot to thin with an actual thinning agent instead of just water. The one I currently use is a P3 brand that I picked up at my FLGS, but essentially you'd want something like this:
