If this hobby is something you truly enjoy, then try to make your workspace brighter....i.e., better light...place you table next to a south facing window, and/or get a better work light. Light is your friend. I am 65, have stigmatism in both eyes, am far sighted so I wear corrective glasses, but they are not enough for close work. I found clip on magnifiers that fit my glasses, and they flip up when I need to read something or look further away. These clip on lens are a great help, I can bring my focal length to within 6inches, and can build in small scales as well as 1/32nd with no problems. I found these on eBay in varying powers. They sit low enough that they increase the power of my bi-focal lens, and they are not that expensive...$10-15 a pair. So, I'd say, despair not, there are ways to help the eyes. Good Luck. Ross

...all I can say is ... "wow", makes me feel like a modeling novice....just let me know when the self sealing fuel cells are installed and you're ready to fire up those Merlins... makes my 1/48th fix of the Classic Airframes Sea Hornet effort look very amateurish. Do keep up the good work! Cheers, Ross
