| Hi ajg141, dont put those efforts back in the cupboard! give it a shot. even just adding shadows to the clothes of your crew members will give a bit more realisim and depth. The crew members of your Stern Trawler probably woulnt even need more then that, as they are Peripherals and not the main focal point of your model.
There is a way of painting figures in a speedy way that some war gamers use. that is, give the figure a matt black under coat and then drybrush on the selected colour for clothing. This gives instant shadows
and is actually quite effective.
And Adz, I don't usualy add varnish to a finished model if it's just for a static display. dont know about anybody else? However If the minature is being used for gaming and getting handled more, a coat of matt varnish (Gloss varnish looks horrible, but that could just be a matter of opinion) can be applied to give the minature more Durability. Humbrol matt varnish does the job fine.
