Hey Guys:

I'm looking at purchasing, a magnifying lamp or visor to do some modelling with.

I wanted to get some feedback from people detailing and kitbashing as to what they use and what they think the strengths and weaknesses are?

Thanks all,

Gareth

I use a regular desk lamp with a built-in magnifying glass.
My only probelm with it is that sometime when you look closely into the glass, it fogs up if you breathe through your nose.

Not a bad deal though. Got it at Staples for about $20.
