Title: Something to help me...
Post by: JudgeDredd on October 07, 2015, 03:11:49 PM
...ok - so it doesn't look great - but it's what I need for my poor old eyes if I'm going to carry on painting models.

aight - just fine. Going through a gaming boredom phase at the moment and the light isn't great for modelling...so I'm looking to learn the rules for B17 Queen of the Skies - not for the first time to be honest.

Its the pre-Christmas Steam Sale Blues...............

Same here. I'm in the gaming doldrums - watching Mrs B play 'Pillars of Eternity' and wishing for 'Elite Horizons' to come out.

I have the same or similar light.  Still need to wear my readers even with the magnifier.  I can't even see what I'm typing right now, thank God for typing class.  The thing that I *hate* with that headlight is if I flip it out of the way so that I can eyeball without using it but then lean forward over the table, the light comes swinging down and whacks me in the bridge of the nose.  After about 6 times I finally realized that I just have to remove the thing when not in use.

This light is attached to the visor and has a "ratchet" system so it sits in place. The glasses can be doubled up (there's two slots) and there's 4 lenses to slot in. It's really quite sturdy feeling. The glasses can be moved up out the way, as can the visor, and the light can be moved up and down and left and right and there's an easy switch to use on the visor for switching off the light.

I haven't tried it with my modelling yet, but plan to do so this weekend if I get some me time
