I FINALLY PICKED OUT A FEW BIT'S OF BIRD GRIT WITH SKULL WHITE THEN THE WHOLE FIGURE + BASE WAS MATT VARNISHED WITH DALER \ROWNEY SOLUBLE MATT VARNISH. IF YOU USE THIS VARNISH MAKE SURE THAT IT IS WELL MIXED !. I USE THE HANDLE END OF AN OLD BRUSH TO GIVE IT A GOOD STIR BEFORE SHAKING ( YOU REALLY CAN'T SHAKE IT ENOUGH ). YOU WILL ALSO NEED THINNER'S TO WASH THE BRUSH.
