Actually if I do get jump-started again in painting minis, I'll be using Winsor & newton griffin alkyd paints. |

I guess I was part of the 8% that still use them… ;) |

I don't use them much anymore, as acrylics are much easier to strip if worst comes to worst… |

Zeelow – 3 months before you can varnish. You have the patience of a saint !! |

Uh uh. For me alkyds I've used in the past (Winsor Newton Griffin and London paint) dry fast…a couple of days at most under some kind of heat…electric light bulb, or window sill when the sun is out. + I don't varnish figures. Instead I just dust them with Testors flat lacquer to knock-out the sheen. (:o)> |
