Thanks. Came out a bit shiny in the photo - it's not so bad in real life though still a touch shiny.
I'm having trouble with varnish at the moment: the first Citadel spray one I had was excellent, left a real natural tone. Then the next was dreadful and made them really dull, almost a super matt.
I then tried Testors spray laquer as that was highly recommended but, having bought a tiny can at a huge price, I'm not blown away by the results.
Went back to my reliable, brush on humbrol gloss topped by brush on matt and that worked for a while but now the matt's not covering so well. Minotaur was done this way.
Hmmm, have a big figure to do next (Grenadier Giant Griffin) and I really don't want to be brushing varnish on that!
