Supplement: Varnishing

Two things I noticed and forgot to mention with regards to varnishing:

• The varnish smoothened the transition between the different color layers. 
• The varnish made the plastic brittle. After the varnish was applied one arm, one finger, one leg and one sword broke in half… all by just touching it. Before the varnishing all those (body) parts were rather sturdy. 

This is, as almost everything on this blog, totally subjective and maybe nothing than a weird coincidence. However, I will be more careful with the next batch of miniatures.

The hand came off at the wrist.
On top of that the musician also lost his little finger.
