I plan on adding some varnish to my CM Alien. I just don't like how dry the paint app on this looks, and I really like how my Alien 3 maquette next to it has a sheen to it. I varnished a few Halcyon Alien pieces back in the day so I have some experience here.
So, not concerned with ruining the value of the statue since I will never sell it I'm wondering if anyone knows if the paint on the CM's is acrylic or oil based? The varnish I have I used on my acrylic painted Halcyons but it can't be used on oil based paints so I don't want to ruin it by putting the wrong varnish on it. If anyone also has some experience in doing something similar and can recommend a good varnish product that would be cool.
If anyone could help me out with this it would be great.
Cheers
