Testors dullcote, all else is heresy. You can put a layer of glosscote underneath, if you must. And it[is ok to brush gloss varnish on leater and metals afterwards.

Yes. Thus endeth the discussion.

Apart from that some people will prefer other varnish of course. Entirely a personal choice. Each to their own. And do on.

NMP Sale

The Cloathing Book 1742 - hardly an extravagance

The new Franco-Prussian War uniforms and equipment set - two volumes, eye waveringly expensive, but beautifully cased and presented, in the sale, and essential.

Some Vallejos. I realized I wasn’t trying hard enough and only have 5 blues. Ordered the Folkstone and Medieval sets as they comprise mostly the colours I don’t have and the three I do, I’d need to replace at some point anyway.

War Elephants Victrix, from the local game store... accessories for Chain of Command from Sabotag3d, (Culvert, bombs and drinks cabinet), and another dozen Saleh Wargames Foundry EIR from Fleabay. That now gives me everything I need to add an EIR force to the Infamy roster.

And now I just need to get the paint brushes out.
Wargames dreams never die, they just get left in a box.

It would cost millions to paint Folkestone with Vallejos. Abandon this lunatic enterprise!

I have some Testors Dullcote brush on varnish. When I tried a test figure I found that it lifted the paint.

Well, the clear out has halted for the weekend.

I've called a ceasefire on not buying stuff and spent no small amount of money at the Empress website. The USMC radio sets are just brilliant, after a rough few days/nights and staying in when all my mates are having fun running I needed to treat myself.

Shouldn't have watched Danger Close.
