Than you, but the look is un ntended. I was used to Vallejo Acrylic Spray Varnish, thas was mandatory for my previous home (too much humidity in the atmosphere). This model was finished at my new home, where air was more dry and that implied a glossy finish. That is why I had to change to Vallejo Premium Polyurethane Varnish, that is less thick.

I understand you completely: I had to change to Acrylic products many years ago, as enamel is very difficult to find in my area (I think because regulations about minimun age for their use) , so I needed to change totally my way of working.
I reckon that acrylics are "temperamental".

Well, Major Flannel: I have to say that durability of Acrylics here in Asturias (Northern Spain, an ambiente very near to that of Southern England and Wales but with a narrow temperature variability) has impressed me and the only problem I have to highlight is the problems of Red colours and their behaviour against UV light, that if directly exposed to Sun, makes them fade to an Orange or violet tone different to that intended.

Alonso bas born in my city, Oviedo, a couple of streets away from my parent's home. And I get my driving license at his father's driving school.
Oviedo is a rather small city (190k people). In fact, we are an small "abnormality" in Spain. As an example, I always say we are like Welsh: our accent is like singing, we are famous for our 8 member male choirs, we had been coal miners in the past, more or less 1M people, you can find an Asturian where ver you go (yes: I could found one in Namib desert and yes, he was living there...), we have pipes, we have typical dancers, ppl do not seem to understand us even when we talk Spanish too and, in fact, the rest of the country has little knowlegde of us and it is rare for them to remember us.
But if you have the opportunity of visiting me, I assure you that you will enjoy a very natural paradise and will return home with your tummy full of delicatessen.

Meet our roads and know why we are better drivers than the rest. It is mandatory: here you are a good driver our you have big probability of becoming 2D from 3D...🤣 🤣 🤣
Hey, bad news do not build your city: Devon is a lovely and nice place! I have been living in Filton, Gloucester, for four years and weather is not that bad (at least for me). Once you met all deserts from Atacama to Saudí Arabia, you really appreciate rain a lot. And know I have became a Farmer, I love rain much more.
Nevertheless, whenever you want to become Spanish, I will trade one of my nationalities with you but I give you an adviceb being Spanish is too expensive, because Govt (any Govt, disregarding their supposed ideology) thinks that the only way to obtain money is through the introductiin of their hands in your pockets. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Well, I farm meat cows mostly, some sheep and pings and horses. That is why I want to go "out from UE", as I think farmers are the carbon footprint they want to eliminate.
Regarding cooking, well, we are also different and closer to Northern Europe: lots of different vegetal and meat stews, a lot of good quality meat and heavy cooking fish. We are also famous for our corn bread and meat and fish pies.
Personally, my cousine is very British: I am proud of making the best meat stew pie of northern Spain and also of my south african style braai. 🤣
Not strange that some of my ancestors came from Northumberland: that guy started a coal mine in Asturias and found my great-great-great grandmother...
