Decrepitude postponed

Good for you, Matey !
It makes a heck of a difference to be able to see what you're doing with close up work again, does it not ?
Look forward to seeing some pics. 
Said it umpteen times before...I wouldn't be able to push putty at this scale without my optivisor....In fact, I reckon I'd struggle doing 30mm size figures without it.

Great news. Pics! Pics! and more Pics! It's definitely a case of if it works then go with it. Just remember to take it off when you answer the front door...especially tonight!

I've used a free-standing magnifying glass for many years now. It bears, due to the number of times I've misjudged the position of my brush, tiger-stripes of paint down the supporting column, but aside from that the system works well. I also have an Optivisor (one of the real ones) which I have largely given up as I find it very difficult to paint and watch TV at the same time whilst wearing it. As others have said, either system needs getting used to, so stick with it, guys, it's the way forward.

Paint and listen to radio. Both the paint job and the pictures are greatly improved

I'm a podcast fan. Listened to the "In Our Time" about the Battle of Tallas whilst wielding a brush last night.

Ah, "watching" involves listening to the sound track and only looking up if a) everything goes quiet, or b) something interesting happens.

Have bought some Rolsons after seeing this thread and they DO seem to do the biz...quite amazing, really. However, the plastic does seem rather fragile so wonder how long they will last.

Only had mine 18 months but no problems so far .... famous last words
