That square looks like a school made example just like mine still in my tool box fifty years later, although the toffee hammer, screwdriver, scriber, dot punch and chisel have long since departed through the mists of time.

Intriguing  prototype.  The paint has a very nice sheen to it, is there a particular varnish or clear finish you use?

That square is actually factory made and was given to me when I started work as an apprentice over 30 years ago, so has a nice patina to it from all the work.

I use either Tamiya Semi-Gloss Clear (X-35 thinned 50-50 with X-20A Thinners) or XF-86 Flat Clear (again thinned the same way). Though the flat clear is quite satin, to get it truly flat you can use Rapid Thinners.
