I got myself a Magnifying Light….

Greetings…

I thought I would see if a magnifying light will be of some help until I get both eye’s sorted and new reading glasses bought…

I been trying it out when cleaning up plastic bits and assembling figures…. It took a bit of getting used to but it does help a bit… I am wondering if a larger lens area make things easier.

I don’t think I will be using it for painting miniatures at the moment… As I have no real depth of field.

I can possibly see me using it in the future…

I know a few people who use magnifiers of some sort… They have said it took them a bit to get used to but now they don’t know what they would do without them…

This is all new to me 😁

All the best.   Aly

Surprise Surprise… More Books.

Greetings…

More books…

I picked these up in Waterstones…

To be honest they are not much what I thought I would find interesting…

But they are indeed….

Classic Osprey…

A good background history about the development of the weapon, Lots of good pictures and Artwork…

Especially stuff from my favourite illustrator and friend Peter Dennis…

There are more books in this series covering different weapons… so very tempting.

My eyesight is definitely improving… The left eye is going to be operated on…on the 27th of the month 

And then hopefully things will start to get back to normal…

Hurrah!

All the best.  Aly

And…. Yet More New Books

Greetings …

Napoleon’s Heavy Cavalry and Napoleon’s Dragoons and Lancers…

Yup!…

It was always going to happen…

And of course they are everything that I’ve come to expect from Mr Dawson…

Loads of pictures and information…I am certainly looking forward to taking a deep dive into the subject of Napoleonic French Cavalry…

And the good thing is that the vision in my eye is loads clearer and I have picked up some half decent reading glasses…

Not good enough to paint with…But I should manage some basing.

All the best.  Aly
