However, one stroke of luck was the discovery of this light with a magnifier glass inside. It really helps see the detail and after a while I am getting used to painting under it. It can be a little tricky but I think I am getting there. Painting is slower which is annoying but the results are better.
In the old days I would take pictures on my i phone and blog them, only then seeing them close up would notice mistakes and go back and fix them.
Another eye test is on the cards too I think, joy!

47 humph youngling, yes one of those has been a staple of mine for some years, Kikar clip-on magnifiers are also good. https://www.amazon.co.uk/KIKAR-Clip-Magnifier-inter-changeable-Lenses/dp/B00DC1CLJM/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1540997499&sr=8-1&keywords=kikar
15mm has started to really become an issue for me lately, need some sort of magnifying thingy!
They are tricky to master but they do make a difference.
Thanks Phil I have made a purchase of something very similar thanks to your link.
I had perfect 20:20 vision; painted 6mm figures (to include detail) with the naked eye...up until I hit 50 (so right around where you are). It was then that my wife (bless her) bought me an optivisor, which I have used ever since (as do all of my acquaintances). Not the end: welcome to the club is all!
Hi there, I'm 42 and I'm using magnifier glass the last
couple of years. Is really usefull! Although I thing
my time is up and I will need a pair of glasses also..:(
Cheers George.
Just hit 50 and reading glasses are still working for me, but even with them I have to look closer at detail that is undercoated black. I have a magnifying glass but find it uncomfortable to use so hope the glasses continue to work.

Phil, my new magnifier thingy arrived on Friday and I have to say it has made a huge difference! many thanks again for the idea and link.
I have been using one of these lamps for years. It is one of those cases where bigger is definitely better.
There is noticeably a bundle to learn about this. I assume you made sure nice points in features also. casino blackjack
