Another project complete -

Many thanks to everyone here who has been kind enough to give me some pointers,I am learning so much it's awesome.
I have 2 new best friends and their names are 'Clear-coat and Micro-Sol'..
My word,decal application is so much simpler now and no annoying silvering!
One question for u experts though,this model is very shiny.I clear-coated before and after applying decals and once it was dry I applied a layer of Matt Varnish.End result is still very shiny.
Can someone please tell me where I am going wrong?
Cheers,
Tony.

What matt did you use....it doesn't appear to have done the required job then!?

If you used Dullcote, I've found lately it doesn't really dull anything! Looks good though!

I used Humbrol 'Matt Varnish'.
I don't mind the finish that much especially as my models are placed in a glass display cabinet for show.It will be a problem when I want to do a diorama though.
Cheers,
Tony.
