Nice tutorial. Final results look very good. one question: Why the two different matt varnishes?

Hi RD
Good question. I go fo the two varnishes, because I don' t know if I trust the Vallejo to protect the figures from years of handling, whereas the Ronseal gives a reassuring coat. I suppose I have always varnished twice and I should trust the Vallejo to do the job, but when you see it watered down, it looks so thin.
I have a bottle of dullcoat, but I don't fancy inhaling the horrible stuff that's in it so I've settled on my current options.
