I'm going for Saxurary. Although I really only should paint these guys in the first part of the month, being Early Saxons.

Quick question - which type of gloss varnish (no, no - read on) to surface prep for decals on plastic/resin/metal kits?

Any sort of gloss, then overpaint with matt.

There are, of course, only two varnishes:

Testors Glosskote, and
Testors Dullkote.

Yes indeed. The French army of the time had quite a few German regiments (the Royal Pologne regiment was also classed as German, because Louis XV's father-in-law, Stanislas Lesczinksi and pretender 'King of Poland' had been given Lorraine) and most of them were dressed in 'Turquin' blue, but the Royal Deux-Ponts were an oddity in that prior to 1761 they dressed in the typical off-white French uniform. I'll be doing a bloue-coated German brigade later (they're currently on order from Eureka) - 1 battalion each from the St Germain and Royal Pologne Regts and two battalions from the La Marck Regt.

I'm working my way through the orbat for Rossbach. Then I might do some others later, such as the Royal Baviere, Grenadiers de France, Gardes Francaises, Cuirassiers du Roi, Gendarmerie de France, etc.

The Baroness has ordered (and had delivered within one day) Liquitex Acrylic High Gloss Varnish. Will that do the job?

OH NO!

Not the Liquitex Acrylic High Gloss Varnish?

Oh the humanity!
