When I used Acrilic paint, I always varnished them matte.
Taking un-varnished (acrylic painted) figures in the hand once or twice,
destroyed the finest detials of painting.
Varnishing helped in that way.

I had great pleasure in painting them.
That is the definitive point in painting figures. ;)

Indeed Hannibal, I use a varnish after painting them. I understood that it is necessary, but don't like the shining very much.
Now I've got a matt varnish. But do have to varnish acrylic paint?
It's good to take pictures of your paintings, you can clearly see what's wrong ;)

Yes, I like them too.
I think Nicholas found the right word for them: they are charming...
In our usual world, mainly full of iron plated, grim knights, Troian heroes etc. they are quite refreshing tones!
Thank you for sharing the photos.

Very coloiourful Oda ...!
Nice settings.
But ..... do you apply a varnish after your acrylic paintng?  Citadel paints are very matte!
Perhaps to protect them?

These are delightful, thank you for sharing.


I have the Wilhelm Schweizer ark on my list of things to purchase.  It also looks like great fun to paint.

Two years ago I bought these by Triple L in Holland, they are from Wilhelm Schweizer.
I had great pleasure in painting them.

Twentyfive years ago I bought these figures on a "Weihnachtsmarkt" in Düsseldorf. I believe that the maker is Marie-Luise Müller, but I'm not sure.
I painted them with acrylic Citadel paint.
