Awesome work, once again, P22! I love how the leather work came out. Facial work is awesome, mean stare.

Quick question; do you ever dull coat or apply matt varnish to your figs when you're done? I'm an oiler, too, so I wait 3-5 days, then give them a quick coat. It cuts the sheen down considerably, unless of course something needs to remain that way.

Hi Steve,
thanks for your response! Yes to your question I use matt varnish to!when the oil is dry..but I let it dry longer ,maybe two weeks or so. so that the oil is properly dry. then I use ultramat from AK or satin where necessary the matt varnish is from humbrol( matt cote)
I hope it is still available because mine is almost gone!!
greeting,
hans
