Doh!

So I just finished my first 5 Imperial Guardsmen, and I might have ruined them.

Ya see, I hate glossy mini's, but ya gotta use glossy varnish to really protect a model. Matte varnish just doesn't provide the protective umph necessary to resist hand oils and touching and dropping and such.

So I've got my 5 guys all varnished up, hit em with the matte varnish and now they're dusty looking. And not in a good way. Not weathered. But obviously coated wrong. I did a bit of finger rubbing, which made the shoulder pads look a bit better.

So tomorrow I wash them with water and a brush, and hopefully they recover. If not, into the simple green they go and I've undone all the work on em.

Shit!
