As I get older, it gets harder to see small parts such as 1/35 scale individual track links. But I’ve developed a nifty solution. I hooked my video camera up to the television set I keep next to my workbench and was rewarded with a 20″ close-up of my work – a better view than I can get using magnifiers. It took a bit of practice looking away from my hands while working, but it sure helps.
