Stone the golden crows!
« on: January 16, 2013, 20:41:54 »
Are these crows actually gold, or some peculiar photographic effect? If genuine, which set are they from?

I have asked the seller to clarify.
At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

Yeah, just a lighting effect I think, but that's really cool!

I don't think the seller actually meant for that light to reflect on them like that. :lol:

Yeah there have never been any gold crows, but it might be a fun custom project.

The seller confirmed it was just a lighting effect, they are really black. Back to the spray can....
