During the jet's most recent rebuild, I completely rebuilt the upper part of the rear fuselage, for two reasons. If you look closely you'll see that the leading edge of the vertical fins is built with SNOT work- this to make their angle more accurate. Part of the SNOT-work actually goes into the fuselage. The other reason for the changes is that by building the fuselage with half-stud-offsets, I set the fins at a position that corresponds better to the position on the real jet. I also rebuilt the afterburner nozzles. I was lucky enough to be able to source a few pearlescent grey 1x2 tiles for this.
A monochrome view of West Wittering Beach at low tide reveals a mesmerizing interplay of textures and patterns, sculpted by the natural rhythm of the sea. Rippling ridges spread across the sand like delicate lines in an ancient etching, each curve gracefully tracing the ebb and flow of receding waves. These patterns vary in depth and sharpness, creating a gradient from stark, shadowed troughs to soft, silken crests. Tiny rivulets weave between the ridges, forming intricate networks that glisten faintly, catching subtle glimmers from the dim, diffused light overhead. The horizon fades into mist, merging sky and beach into a seamless palette of greys. Patches of damp sand appear almost metallic, reflecting darker shades in deeper channels, while lighter areas evoke a pearlescent glow, as if the beach itself breathes with the slow, timeless pulse of the tides. Scattered shells and pebbles punctuate the scene, casting small shadows and adding delicate contrasts to the serene monochrome expanse. The scene is both calming and infinite, capturing the silent, rhythmic dance of earth and sea in the simplest and most profound detail.

The Century is to Japan what the Rolls-Royce is to the United Kingdom : a cultural icon. This majestic V12 - the only one ever built by Toyota - represents the pinnacle of Japanese luxury and discretion. Finished in the rare "Goshikigai Blue Mica", a deep shade that reveals a subtle pearlescent shimmer in sunlight, and featuring a wool interior with lace curtains, this model exudes understated elegance and craftsmanship. Each Century was hand-assembled with an almost ceremonial approach at Toyota's exclusive Higashi-Fuji workshop. Target audience : top government officials, industrial magnates, and members of the Imperial Household.

The 599 is such a great vehicle. This particular one, finished in Bianco Fuji, is an awesome mashine. The red leather against the pearlescent white paintjob are just an insane combination - one that's probably not been specced in Germany.

I wanted my peacock to have a beak, so a mask seemed the way to go. I found a simple plastic mask at a discount store, and built up the beak with paperclay. I then covered most of the mask with the dress fabric, added a more beaded trim, and painted the beak a pearlescent white.
The Granary is a life-sized sculpture of a traditional English grain store. Still in use in countryside locations such as the artist’s hometown in Faversham, Kent, granaries are an archetypal structure of agrarian and pastoral life. Towering at an unusual height, The Granary is finished in pearlescent candy orange, chosen to represent the desire to return to an idyllic, rose-tinted past.
Despite its indulgence to this fantasy, The Granary is also a beaten, forced and frustrated product. It reflects a brutal reality of material hardship, discord, class division and racism, as well as the fear and uncertainty of what we have lost or stand to lose from crises affecting rural life today. The Granary speaks as much to a need to overcome these crises as it does to the vexed rhetoric that underpins established visions of the nation, its heritage and our place within it.

Occasionally found branded as a Shalco, Million (model # G-401), a Realistic "Hi-Fiver" (see below) and Kobe Kogyo model KT-6. It has been reported from a reliable source that this radio was made by Tokai. I've also hear that the Kobe Kogyo's 1st transistor radio was the KT-6. Did Tokai make this radio or did Kobe Kogyo? I do not have the definitive answer.
It has the look and feel of many early Japanese transistor radios; heavy, thick plastic, large tuning capacitor (not a miniature Mitsumi), simple and elegant design.
A classy looking radio. It feels well made - heavy and solid.
The front right half of the radio is covered by a thick pearlescent plastic....nice touch.
The large thumbwheel tuning dial is neatly inset into the cabinet and the speaker grill's gold finish adds a bit of extra class.

One of Alfa Romeo's most obscure productions, but at the same time one of their finest, the SZ and RZ, or Sprint Zagato and Roadster Zagato, respectively, are a rare pair of limited edition machines built in the 1990's to give them something of an edge in a time when they were making somewhat mundane family cars.
Robert Opron of the FIAT design studio was responsible for the initial sketches while Antonio Castellana was largely responsible for the final styling details and interior. Only the 'Z' logo of Zagato was kept. The car possessed unusual headlights positioned in a trio on each side - a styling used more subtly on later Alfa Romeos in the 2000s.
Mechanically and engine-wise, the car was based on the Alfa Romeo 75, production being carried out by Zagato at Terrazzano di Rho near the Alfa factory in Arese. The thermoplastic injection moulded composite body panels were produced by Italian company Carplast and French company Stratime Cappelo Systems. Power came from an Alfa Romeo 3.0L V6 12v engine, similar to that used in the Turbo versions of 1993's Alfa Romeo GTV.
The suspension was taken from the Alfa 75 group A/IMSA car, and modified by Giorgio Pianta, engineer and team manager of the Lancia and FIAT rally works team. A hydraulic damper system was made by Koni. The SZ was originally equipped with Pirelli P Zero tyres (front 205/55 ZR 16, rear 225/50 ZR 16) and is able to sustain over 1.1 G in cornering, some drivers have measured a cornering force of 1.4 G, which remains an excellent performance figure.
The two-seater hard roof version also saw a convertible version, the RZ (for Roadster Zagato), produced from 1992 until December 1994. Although almost identical to look at the two cars had completely different body panels save for the front wings and boot. The RZ had a revised bumper and door sills to give better ground clearance and the bonnet no longer featured the aggressive ridges. Three colours were available as standard black yellow and red, with black and yellow being the more popular choices. Yellow and red cars got a black leather interior and black cars burgundy. Although the interior layout was almost unchanged from the SZ, the RZ had a painted central console that swept up between the seats to conceal the convertible roof storage area. 350 units were planned but production was halted after 252 units when the Zagato factory producing the cars for Alfa Romeo went in to receivership, a further 32 cars were then completed under the control of the receivers before production finished at 284 units. Of those final three were painted silver with burgundy interior and another pearlescent white.
We were treated to a light show from our back window this morning in the form of these pearlescent nacreous clouds (which look amazing but are apparently not a great thing environmentally).
Tribute shot to jellyb321 who gave me the idea to take a sky shot, which led to me noticing this stratospheric phenomena on a day when I might otherwise have been too busy sorting out the morning tasks to have looked!

Thanks for looking! :-)
Today I chose to wear a denim skirt, tights, turtleneck and sweater with my flats for my errands, which included the pharmacy, post office, gas station and nail salon. My tech was thrilled to see me looking so feminine, and said she'd like for me to be dressed this girly every time I visit her.
Because of my feminine outfit, she said today was my day for a full set of red acrylics. But I somehow convinced her to just go with the regular French fill. She agreed, but insisted that I can't leave the shop without girly nails to match my outfit. So, in place of red, she chose a pretty iridescent pearl UV-cured polish, which she told me would be as feminine, and almost as noticeable as, red.
So, my fingernails all became pretty pearlescent! And she's right, they're feminine....
She reminded me that to leave them alone till my next fill will save me a lot of work trying to remove the pearlescent color, and anything I do may mess up my nails in the process. She chose the color to look attractive with anything I wear. But, if I really feel the need for change, my only choice will be to paint over them with another color...she'll happily do this for me if I stop by wearing the dress or skirt I need to match. Or I can get whatever colors I like at the pharmacy and do it myself. She highly recommended that approach - every girl should own lots of different colors of polish, and many change their nail color nightly, to match the next day's outfit, as they watch their favorite shows on the telly.
Good thing I like the color she applied. I've decided to just wear it till my next fill, then let her re-apply it for me, since I'm not quite ready to start painting my nails every night. Yet. But she insists that day will come...
But now that I'm wearing nail color full time, she showed me bottles of pretty pastel blues and pinks for my hands starting about Easter, and a really attention-grabbing shade of hot pink she wants to give me with a pedicure later this spring. Once I'm fully equipped with girly nail colors, she tells me that I'll probably start painting them on my own between fills, just like the other girls.... Then she showed me a blue to match my denim skirt, or a white to match my sweater. We girls gotta have our nails match our outfit, whether we're wearing skirts, dresses, leggings or capris!
When I left the shop, she again complimented my pretty nails, told me she's thrilled that I'm getting more comfortable in skirts, and she hopes that soon I'll be wearing them all day, every day. Then she reminded me to be careful with my nails till they're fully dry later this afternoon, And before I left, she decided to take a picture of me, so I can remember my day.
It was a really fun visit, and her support is legendary!

My LE Wedding Cinderella Doll has been fully deboxed. She is posed standing, supported by the included display stand. With her floor length multi-layered skirt she should be able to free stand, but I didn't haven't tried to stand her that way. She is photographed from all angles.
On my second attempt to get the Limited Edition Wedding Cinderella 17'' Doll from eBay, I finally got her! I got her with the help of a fellow collector. She is #450 of 500, and was originally sold by the Japan Disney Store. There is a Japanese sticker on the bottom of the box. She was shipped double boxed, and very well packed. She arrived in perfect condition.
She is very beautiful, and has a serene expression, rather than the grumpy pout of the LE Ballgown Cinderella doll. Her lips have a slight smile, which is part of why she has a more pleasant expression than the other doll, who shares the same face mold. She is glancing in the opposite direction of the Ballgown Cinderella, and her skin has a matte surface, rather than the shiny pearly surface of the Ballgown doll. Her pale yellow wedding gown has many differently sized and colored rhinestones enhancing the printed floral pattern. There are also several small jeweled plastic butterflies in the skirt, hidden amongst the flowers. The decorations continue throughout the back of the dress. There are also faux pearl buttons on her sleeves and on the back of her bodice. Her skirt is very full with a long train, and is in three differently colored layers. Under her skirts is a 3/4 length single layer tulle petticoat. Attached to her hair is an oversized pale yellow sheer chiffon veil. She has golden earrings and a jeweled golden tiara. Her wedding ring is a floral design with five golden beads; it is pinned to her hand. She has the old style legs, with fixed ankles. She is wearing simple ivory heels, with no decorations.
I will be posting a full set of detailed photos of this doll. She will be shown boxed, during deboxing, and fully deboxed, both by herself and with other Disney Store dolls.

As Britney Spears once said – “Oops!...I Did It Again”, LOL... Well, here is another completed custom painted guitar project I’ve finished. This time I decided to go with a Flame theme in purple hues, actually those colors are a Pearlescent Lavender to Plum burst, with some vivid peril Violet Candy mixed in. I’ve also hand painted those Silver Flames with some added Holographic glitter I’d blended into the metallic silver paint, so it really sparkles in the sunlight. Additionally, I’ve added many special touches to this wonderful Stratocaster. I do hope you like it as much as I do! Custom painted guitar by Artist Dan Seitzinger, DanMar Creations / DMS Studios.

My friend showed me this wonderful seashell he had gotten from his grandmother. I was totally mesmerized.
I got this used Ariel from the 1997 Mattel Wedding Giftset.
I rebodied her onto a 1999 Tarzan Jane doll with a matching skintone, in order for the dress to fit and for the bent arm.
I partially rerooted her hair as it was cut and in bad shape and I styled it adding pearls on the sides.
The dress is an old Disney store dress.
I modified it, by adding ribbons on her neckline and waistline and I also changed the skirt. I got an Ocean Bride Ariel skirt, removed the net, pleated it in the middle and sewed it under the pink skirt.
I added matching white pearlescent Barbie 90's pumps and the fork as last touch, from an early 2000's Barbie accessory set.
I worked hard on her and I'm very satisfied with the result.
What do you guys think?
This creepy haute couture lizard for Halloween is Phelsuma, a OOAK Inamorata art doll with Nnaji head sculpt and Andro bust type in Charcoal resin.
Her highly editorial make up has a pearlescent green scale pattern running from her brow to the back of her head, red and gold lips, rust coloured eyes and wild eyeshadow covering her brow with multi coloured leaf gold. The look is finished with green sequins as bindi and below her eyes.
The translucent netting dress is a hand stitched with thick scaly clusters of red and green sequins and beads to accentuate feminine form. The netting boots with Classic Stiletto heels have a line of red sequins running down the back seam.
Both doll and the fashion are available in the shop now:
Deboxing the Designer SQ Elsa and Hans Doll Set, with slipcover and acrylic cover off, so the dolls are in the clear. They are secured to the cardboard backing, the plastic supports and the built in doll stands. Next we split open the backing, so we can detach the dolls from the backing.
I have finally deboxed the Designer Fairytale Snow Queen Elsa and Hans Doll Set (2015). My set is #4597 of 6000. It was the only set that I didn't get at the Disney Store raffle, so I had to order her online. I show the set boxed, during deboxing and fully deboxed. After deboxing them, I place them back on their display stand, in a different pose.
I was a little surprised that Elsa has the body construction of the 2012 DS Classic Princess dolls, so has external hinged knee joints and ankle joints. It makes her legs a bit unsightly when they are exposed by opening the slit of the skirt. She has shiny pearlescent skin that is similar to the Harrods Elsa doll, but doesn't have the heavy blush. Her Snow Queen outfit also has embellishments that are more similar to that of the Harrods Elsa rather than that of the LE 2500 Snow Queen Elsa. But rather than the jeweled snowflakes of the 17'' LE Elsa she has single clear rhinestones throughout her braid, and a few on her head. The snowflake and icicle design in her cape are printed rather than embroidered (as in the 17'' LE Elsas) or glittered (as in the Classic Elsa). They are flat and smooth, and I don't think are as effective in depicting ice.
The major embellishments of Designer Hans over Classic Hans are the addition of white gloves, and a sword. However, It's disappointing that there is no scabbard for the sword - it is loosely sewn to his pants legs, which looks rather cheap.
I will show the dolls in side by side comparisons to other Elsa and Hans dolls in future postings.

12-D-38993 just after arriving from EvoBus, it was painted a pearlescent white which gave a purple or green hue to the paint depending on the light. It has Setra 60th Anniversary graphics applied which were removed later in the day, so I snapped this before I moved it into the garage for the sign writers to apply temporary Dublin Coach graphics and FleetConnect to fit Wifi before it went out on service 2 days later - I took it on its inaugural run, the 07:45 Dublin-Ennis on the 10/12/13, the first day of the route expansion to Ennis.
Next to it, just in frame, was the then unregistered King Long, which arrived 5 months late, in the wrong colour. It's as if someone described the colour green to a colour blind painter.
Has this bus got lost in the Highlands somewhere? You wouldn't believe we're just 10-15 minutes or so from the centre of Edinburgh would you? In a scene that could be in the heartlands of Perthshire it's actually the terminus for Service 10 at Torphin. The succulent redcurrant bush in this turning circle is beautiful and the berries look nearly ripe for the making of redcurrant jelly soon.

It's been a while! Here is Kiki and the Mums' 21st custom faceup, Guinevere!
Ashley Townsend-Motter approached us with a doll project which she had for a while. She wasn't too sure about the character she had created and so, gave us full artistic liberty to do what we imagined for the doll. We had been interested in trying some new things for a while and so took this as the perfect opportunity to do so.
Ashley wanted Guinevere to be like a medieval lady, but given her colourful wig, we decided to go with a more fantasy look. Her facial features are loosely based on Olivia Hussey, the actress who played the 1968's film adaption of William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet".
Guinevere is Kiki and the Mums' most colourful custom yet, with rainbow blush that includes pink, red, magenta, violet and blue. She has dazzling light green-gold eyes framed by expressive purple eyebrows that give her a thoughtful expression. Her lips are a vibrant shade of rosy pink, with a slight iridescent shimmer. Her eyelids feature fantastical hand-painted swirling pearlescent patterns, inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's famous "Starry Night". It only seemed appropriate that such a lovely girl had eyelids like the wondrous galaxies that appear in our night sky.
Guinevere was truly a pleasure to work on and we hope she makes Ashley very happy.

Imported into the U.K. by HTI these Chinese made models are becoming an increasingly common sight in their range and are usually sold under the Teamsterz brand.

This Hallmark sheet is a test pressing of the design produced on pearlescent paper, on the following page.
There is no doubt that this radio was intended to sway the female buyer into the solid state radio market.... The cabinet is hot pink with a pearlescent reverse painted dial area giving it a very jewel-like quality. It's quite small, only three and a quarter inches tall and two and a quarter inches wide. (very similar in dimension to Toshiba's 7TP-21 and 31 which were also advertised to the female demographic).
I am uncertain of the manufacturer but I'm presently guessing (and I emphasis guessing) Sharp. Sharp made radios for the U.S. Truetone brand and this IS a Lady Truetone. More info to follow.
Truetone was the brand name used for radios sold by Western Auto Supply of the U.S.A.
Uses an old style 4 volt cylindrical battery which I do not have. The radio still works using an external power supply.

Not pictured is a gold plated tac sword from the brickarms mystery pack vol. 2, but that's because I seem to have misplaced it at the moment. I hope to have it with me at BFVA.
Status: Current
BrickLink: Satin Trans-Black
Introduced in 2020 with set 43179. It's a microglitter effect molded into the plastic that gives a very pearlescent look. The opal effect really takes over here; it's much more bluish-purple than normal trans-brown.
Deboxing the Designer SQ Elsa and Hans Doll Set, with slipcover and acrylic cover off, so the dolls are in the clear. They are secured to the cardboard backing, the plastic supports and the built in doll stands.
I have finally deboxed the Designer Fairytale Snow Queen Elsa and Hans Doll Set (2015). My set is #4597 of 6000. It was the only set that I didn't get at the Disney Store raffle, so I had to order her online. I show the set boxed, during deboxing and fully deboxed. After deboxing them, I place them back on their display stand, in a different pose.
I was a little surprised that Elsa has the body construction of the 2012 DS Classic Princess dolls, so has external hinged knee joints and ankle joints. It makes her legs a bit unsightly when they are exposed by opening the slit of the skirt. She has shiny pearlescent skin that is similar to the Harrods Elsa doll, but doesn't have the heavy blush. Her Snow Queen outfit also has embellishments that are more similar to that of the Harrods Elsa rather than that of the LE 2500 Snow Queen Elsa. But rather than the jeweled snowflakes of the 17'' LE Elsa she has single clear rhinestones throughout her braid, and a few on her head. The snowflake and icicle design in her cape are printed rather than embroidered (as in the 17'' LE Elsas) or glittered (as in the Classic Elsa). They are flat and smooth, and I don't think are as effective in depicting ice.
The major embellishments of Designer Hans over Classic Hans are the addition of white gloves, and a sword. However, It's disappointing that there is no scabbard for the sword - it is loosely sewn to his pants legs, which looks rather cheap.
I will show the dolls in side by side comparisons to other Elsa and Hans dolls in future postings.

Deboxing the Designer SQ Elsa and Hans Doll Set, with slipcover and acrylic cover off, so the dolls are in the clear. They are secured to the cardboard backing, the plastic supports and the built in doll stands. Next we split open the backing, so we can detach the dolls from the backing. The backing is then laid flat.
