Not too long ago someone on one of the threads needed a reflective something or other but can't remember who or what it was. On top of the foil seal of a coffee can there is a little square of a near mirror surfaced piece of plastic. It can be cut to size and used as is or the back can be peeled off and you should stick have the sticky adhesive like tape. I have used a punch to make the mirrors for SdKfz 234's and 251's. The center section looks gray in the pic but is really very shiny. I have not had the chance to try it yet but the seal materiel is a thick foil and will likely be good for equipment straps of seat belts and the like.  |

Here's a better pic of the reflective quality. Careful Marc, that pencil will soon start asking you if its eraser makes it look fat...  |

cool stuff mate. I needed some mirror stuff once (for the McLaren F1 car). And I found that the inside of a bag of potato chips works as well ^^
Cheers
