I came across these a few days ago and so thought they may be of interest to other modellers.
Produced in Taiwan by UStar, these pressed steel plates are 50mm in diameter and 10mm deep. They are ideal for mixing paint or for holding stuff like cyanoacrylate or filler whilst you apply it. About the only thing you need do will be to clean them with solvent before they are used first, because they smell of machine oil (lovely!)
The box (#UA-90020) contains 12 plates and I obtained them for just £5.99 including UK P&P. Similar plates are available in the Mr Hobby range from Gunze-Sangyo, but you only get a pack of 10 and they cost more, so this is a cost-effective alternative.
I obtained my example on eBay, so check out the user ID: iiansdesign2012, as I am sure they will have more. The listing was entitled "Metal model paint tray 12pc_Like mr.hobby Gunze_for tamiya/ revell etc.", so cut and paste that into the search engine on eBay and it should find alternatives if not.
