Thanks for the feedback, they are nice figures to paint.
Re the questions;
- The lacquer on the armour is a coat of Vallejo Satin Varnish, applied after the highlights are done.
- The clear plastic base is made by Jimbibbly - James at Oshiro Models - to fit 1 pence coins (he's also done a staggered line set-up too, which i'll show on the next figures I do).
Cheers, Simon.
