The model magnifier has the same effect on me as did my attempt at varifocals. Depth perception went all to cock and I ended up walking like the guy out of 'Ministry of Silly Walks' There is no way on earth that you can plumb a 1/72 Nimbus engine exactly. Don't tell anybody but some of the wires are 0.0000001 inches out of place. (in other words just stuck in to look busy) 1 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Brown 6,276 Posted July 30 Report Share Posted July 30 Works for me. A few years ago my close vision returned to something like normal, so I can read and do close work without specs, but for tiny things like 1/72 cockpits and painting figures these have become invaluable. The trick is choosing a lens magnification that works at whatever distance you're working from. It made me a bit doolally initially, but if you stick with it everything normalises. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is it possible to try a different web browser. I sometimes find there are things I can't see on Chrome which I can in Firefox. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
