you mean the orange peel finish? Depending on the paint/varnish used this is normal. Look at modern day cars, they all have it some way or another. Most modern day 'environmental friendly' waterbased paints have this, it's inherit to the paints. Unless you used a solvent based varnish, then I really don't have a clue.

Hi Alexander
I’d say spraying from too far away and/or at too high a pressure. The varnish needs to flow out a little before the solvent flashes off. In this case the varnish has dried almost instantly on hitting the surface.
Thanks, i am glossing to apply pin washes.Could still be applied from too far away, or perhaps not enough varnish on the surface. Another point, is the can properly mixed? If you want a high gloss finish let it gas off for a few days then polish it with Tamiya polishing compound or similar to flatten the surface and bring out the gloss.
That finish will be fine for a pin wash, the subsequent Matt varnish will hide the surface imperfections nicely.
You seem to be implying we’re not …we might as well be painting by numbers
