ebay's not going to work as it's not allowed to be shipped internationally. He's in Canada, those auctions are from the UK. Same problem with getting it in from the states.

I did a complete army of nids dipped in minwax polyshades (back when I was in canada, i bought it at home depot) to good results. I hit them with a matt varnish after the fact. quickshades strong is probably either ebony or antique walnut.

Matt Varnish: there's a ton of alternatives to army painter brand, krylon makes a good one (look for it at art stores or dare say it, walmart) Testor's dull coat is the gold standard. The nice thing about trying out a few from walmart / can tire / home depot / rona are the selection of brands.
