Hi Peter
There are several makes of iridescent paint on the market.....look at the craft ranges, for example. Windsor and a Newton also make an iridescent medium.

Trying to explain to my son last night what iridescent meany as the animators in a film about a spy turned into a pigeon added the effect to the pigeons plumage.

I’ve wanted this conversion kit for thirty years, but couldn’t afford it back then. When I could, it was long out of production, but I’ve now managed to find one second-hand

I remember looking through the Verlinden stuff and just dreaming about it, now I can afford it I've bought suprisingly little. (That and it can be hard to get and prices are overinflated.)

This dropped onto the door mat this morning...

Verlinden’s early stuff is quite good, but everything they made in the last 20 years or so (before the company threw in the towel, anyway) is a bit suspect in terms of quality, IMHO. If it says “Made in Belgium” on the box, it’s probably worth buying. If it says “Made in USA” you may want to think twice, if you ask me (At least long enough to figure out whether it’s a re-issue from when they were still based in Belgium )

Another addition to my stash. My stash of hetzer variants for my on/off (mostly off) project of building all variants of the Hetzer. don't know when I will get around to it but I got it at a reasonable discount so could not miss it.

I still have parts of that left, having used a fair amount of the set to update some kits 20+ years ago

The Mail Man dropped these of earlier this week. I might build the 6 pounder to be either hauled or towed by the Bedford for the Simon GB

Hi Tony. Fish Face looks to be about 1/8. It's actually the creature from the film The Shape of Water (thanks Paul};

The Italeri plastic seems very shiny :smiling5:

[Andy the Sheep]

A 1/35 nice figure directly from the artist (whose lab made my mouth watering... :tongue-out; he lives and works just 10 km from my home, so go and fetch it was the easiest solution.
It will be a pleasant diversion while waiting the glue to set during next builds.

... and some colours too

[Neil Merryweather]

that's a very nice sculpt, Andrea

[Andy the Sheep]

It is very nice indeed... and despite my terrible pics!
Here is another exemple of the quality of his (not mine... :disappointed2: ) works: https://www.scale-models.co.uk/threa...-tanker.34957/
