I've just been talking about the cause of the shininess over on a FB group. The Vallejo paint's the culprit, so I'm going to try a pin-wash to see if it'll act as a matting agent.  

whoops: forgot to add; thank you

Vallejo's matt varnish would get rid of the shine

Yes, in truth they've not been varnished yet. Partly due to the atrocious weather, partly because I'm not happy with that bikini and will varnish when I've sorted it.

Oh well done!

Awesome.

Sorry Roy, that was for some minis I just looked at.

Don't know what happened there at all 

 

I actually thought that's what had happened. No worries 

I've since added another contrast coat of paint to the purplish bikini. The lighter layer of paint has finished the bikini perfectly and has allowed for some subtle shading between the strap and cup of the bikini top.

Where else could you read that!
