So, I have model master flat clear lacquer. First off, is that any good? Secondly, can I paint over it once I've applied it?

Thanks in advance, Dakka!

Id imagine you can paint over it. I painted over minwax on my necronmunda gang

Simple answer - yes you can.
I offen varnish my models once they've reach a certain stage to protect the work already done.
If you read the FW Model Master Class, they continuously varnish then paint for different effects -
eg washes go better over gloss & weathering & drybrushing go better over matt.
Also use varnish to create more realistic effects -
eg dust and cloth is matt
an oil-stained piston will be gloss / semi-gloss etc

Check out my gallery here
Also I've started taking photos to use as reference for weathering which can be found here. Please send me your photos so they can be found all in one place!!
