Hi all,

     I've been playing with 'Blue Steel' watch hands recently, and
trying to get the right texture/colour from memory as I've seen many
old pocket watches with these types of hands and thought it would be a
challenge for me.

   (Please disregard the numerals as I think they're *not good*).   ;)

   The image was modelled in sPatch, and rendered in PoV.

   What do you think I could do to improve the hands? I'm not quite
sure if I have the code right or not for this, but maybe someone could
give some pointers? Or is it ok?

   Any advice most welcome...

    texture {
       pigment {colour Black }

   pigment { Blue filter .345 }
     finish {
        ambient 0
        diffuse .05
        reflection .5
        specular .6
        roughness .001
        metallic  4.5
        brilliance 10   <----- (tried Alfs' figure here, (pov3.1) with
this image, (pov3.5)...)
        irid {
          .3
          thickness .01
          turbulence .02
        }
      }
    }
  }
