Thanks again lads...my only concern is the final finish. I've gone quite heavy with the oil paint after using the model as a canvas to paint on. It's rendered my previous filters largely invisible...oh well. The oil paint will probably dry satin and I'll need to find something that will give a true matt for a final coat and I've been largely unimpressed by the 'matt' finishes I've used in the past. To my eyes, Testors Dullcote is anything but 'dull'.
