Andrea Miniatures has long been known for their extensive lines of display miniatures in various scales, but they also produce quality paints. They are very similar to Vallejo paints in terms of quality, and use the same 17 ml dropper bottles. Many people believe that they are made by Vallejo for Andrea [I have not been able to confirm this though]

Durable Finishes

When you are painting a miniature that will get a lot of use, be sure to spend extra time on the clear coat varnishes to finish it off. This will prevent chips and wear from showing and save you the hassle of repainting.

The most durable finish is a pure clear coat as opposed to a matte finish. In order to get the best of both worlds do one or two coats with a gloss clear coat and follow it with one or two coats of matte. The gloss will protect the paint job, while the matte finish will help to reduce glare.
