Yo, that's pretty cool man. But let me guess - you went with thick coats as opposed to many thin coats?

As to the glossy inks...in my own experience, I found that a nice matte varnish pretty much gets rid of the glossiness making the inks still pretty usable. Although the new washes seem a lot easier to use and are really cool.

Nah, that is 1 million thin coats... I know why you say that but I think thats just from the metallic paint and macro brings out all the imperfections of the metal model.

Glosss? I got lost at that part.

oh, the gloss part was more of a reply to minus_t's "I hate inks" comment

sounded like he hated the shininess, so I just said how to get rid of it, but I'm sure he already knew

An awesome way to lose the gloss... and I hope this wasn't said on the previous page but glazing works a treat...
