They both look great but I gotta go with the Old School Glossies! Wonderful!

What the hell were we thinking. I mean, Humbrol did make matts.

Hey those are HG Wells classics! You gotta love glossy!

Those Minifigs did look great en masse.

Gloss did wear better and stand up to handling. Matt is great on a display shelf, but I often regret adding the very best matt varnish to remove residual sheen.

You have to do it, but it does detract from the vibrancy of the colours…which for the morning of 18th June is probably all too realistic of course
