Thanks for the warm welcome. I used to build in 1/35 scale but I just got tired of dealing with all those micro sized parts. Im 45 now & my vision & steadiness of the hands are not what they used to be so a jump to 1/16 scale seemed like the logical choice. Not a problem with the cooking....I have some top secret recipes of my own!

Aaaah yes 46 this Month and the tiny parts aren't as easy as they used to be

Mark, Hi, I would recommend that you get a MAGNIFIER, Tamiya sell one which comes with three sets of interchangable lenses, worn like spectacles they keep your hands free, I would not be without them , the downside is they are not cheap but other magnifiers are available, also a very bright adjustable light source, In Britain that means a lamp, in California or Hawaii an open window! I don't want to sound like your mum but if you are using a DREMEL for grinding you have to wear goggles and a face mask, there are a number of handy gadgets that allow you to do your work hands free, if you can get hold of one (PUN INTENDED) a ten year old grandson is a godsend, other gadgets cost more than a chocolate bar but are very useful. shaun
