Humbrol has changed the shape of the jars their weathering powders are supplied in. The change is a good one as the new wide mouth tub is easier to poke a brush in than the pervious bottle version - although more likely to be spilt I suppose.
Anyway, they sent me a few samples (get me, the influencer!) to mag projects. I like to use the range as it's availability is normally pretty good and if someone wants to copy what I've done (the point of the exercise after all) then using some weird material isn't really on.
Anyway, not long after the jars appears, Justin at ScaleModelScenery developed a neat laser-cut MDF rack to hold the things. He sells it as a set with powders, but will supply seperatly if asked. I asked.
One benfit of using this holder is that you are less likely to spill powder. Good news, as it's the very devil to get out of clothes and the recesses of your workbench. As for washing your hands, has anyone found a soap that will do the job in one go? Never mind singing "Happy Birthday", just get some dark brown on your fingers and you'll wash any Covid away!

I do like the ScaleModelScenery range. Especially when it comes to those everyday things like fences and staircases
It's all excellent, well-designed stuff.
They also do well in the "people buy from people" stakes - excellent to chat to and very approachable. You feel you have a connection with the people behind the products, which is so important for a cottage industry. Mind you, they have probably outgrown that description now!
