I was going to suggest Humbrol matt black, having used it successfully in the past. Revell seem to have got some sort of holding of the Humbrol brand so that is another potential maker. I couldn't find Humbrol metallic gold anywhere but the Revell version was identical bar the branding.

That green of the canal is wonderful. The butterfly and the damselfly are exemplary too.

Adding to your comments, there seem to be far fewer peacocks, red admirals and speckled woods this year. Skippers are down a bit too. There are dozens of whites and gatekeepers and, judging from the various images being posted here and there, the common blue is a lot more common!
I think your damselfly is a male --the beautiful female is unquestionably brown in colour.

11 and 12 for me but I'd be delighted had I produced any of them!

That looked an exciting visit with some fantastic captures.

First one is really nice. (so are the others!)

No, definitely no flash. I haven't a clue how to use it.

There are hundreds of them on Ebay.

I've got to start to use tubes more in pursuit of this sort of detail. There is interesting comparison here between these (with flash) and the other set, without it. The chitin parts here all sharply reflect the flash while it is much more subdued using natural light.

I much prefer natural light to flash for this kind of picture. You'd never get the nice softness of the close-up bee using flash.

Just lovely, formal photography.
