  1. Thanks for the replies everyone. For the last couple of weeks I've been looking for the perfect one and even though I haven't found exactly what I'm looking for (rectangle 4''x6'' like my old one) I'm seeing some fairly good products on line. Unfortunately I've seen lots of junk as well. The ones that Office Depot have (Real Space Brand) has several qualities and prices and the best thing is that they're local and they also have them all in stock as well, so I'll go there this weekend and check them out. Usually it seems like I can't find the selection or the quality that I'm looking for in a local store and I end up buying on line, but for once I might actually find something that I like that is also quality enough to be worth the price. The hobby stores around me are few and far between and unfortunately it's not just the hobby stores but most all stores period except the big box stores with their unlimited junk. Therefor it's usually more convenient to purchase on line as they have more of a selection. All the same I'm still not finding a rectangle magnifying lamp like I'm looking for, and as usual I'm going to end up buying the best of what stores stocks, not exactly what I want though. Thanks again for the replies, Richard
  2. Hello, I'm new to the site and have been lurking about the last couple of weeks, and this is my first post. First of all, I've been seeing a lot of top notch cars on here and have learned a few new tips that I didn't already know in my 30 years of on and off model building. Who says an old dog can't learn new tricks? Throughout the years I've mainly built cars, but I've also built occasional planes (WWII planes) and a few boats. For the time being I have way too many other hobbies as well so I'm just going to stick mainly with some old muscle cars for a while. Presently I'm building a 1966 Mustang (AMT), a 1967 Mustang Fastback GT (AMT) and even though I know it's not a muscle car, a VW Beetle (Revell). I'm looking to get a 1963 Corvette split window next and after that if I can find one, a '57 or '58 Plymouth Fury. I wouldn't mind building '59 Cadillac as well if I have enough time in the near future. My first question on here is "what kind or brand of desk top mount magnifying glasses are you guys using" . I haven't been building for almost ten years and my last one seems to have disappeared from my box of paint and brushes etc. and I can't seem to find one or any actually like it in any of the stores I've looked at so far, including ebay. It was 6 inch by 4 inch rectangle lens with a snake "soft metal tube" and light and it was excellent to work under. I was hoping that in the last ten years there would be some new and better designed ones out there for model building but if there is, I'm just not finding them. every thing I'm finding is round and around four inches diameter give or take an inch. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone on here is using nowadays. Richard
