Changes in the High Street.
Those familiar with the 'Superquick' range of model building kits will know the muted shades and colours used in printing thereof, and the prejudice aroused in the 'modern' modeller, accustomed to 'Titanium White' and 21st century pigments. The modern motor car, for instance, is now available in a rainbow of metallic, candy colours akin to the trays of iridescent beetles on display in the Natural History Museum.Where am I going with this? Well, a recent article in the BBC news app brought this to mind, viz
www.bbc.co.uk/news/in-pictures-43141667
Now where have we seen those tones before?
Incidentally, the Superquick catalogue is a treasure chest of information for the layout designer, each building has a dimensioned foot-print….think on.
Incidentally, the picture contain my first two cars, the VW Beetle and the Austin 1100.

Hi Doug,Pithiviers with bacon and olive tapenade for an 'amuse bouche' then roasted red peppers halves filled with cherry tomatoes, chopped spring onion and thin garlic slices as a starter, followed with SWMBO's favourite salmon fillet with asparagus and Hollandaise wrapped in puff pastry served with crushed and roasted baby 'taters', broccoli florets dressed with olive oil and toasted sesame seeds.
Well, you did ask!
Doug
Fancy fish and chips then. Those Pithiviers sound good though. Did you use almond paste?

I can well see what you mean about the colours too and I'm not talking about rose tinted spec's.
Cheers Pete.
