ok these dashboards  and seats and all the T I N Y stuff on a model  - what do you guy`s use to get that  beautiful intricate work done - jewlers glasses  ??

I use an Optivisor with 2X glass and the optional LED lights. A bit expensive, but much easier to use than the cheap 2.5X glasses that I tried previously.

I have a work lamp with a magnifier, I use Optivisor, and I also have a stereoscopic microscope.  Couldn't do it without it. :)

And for something really crazy check out WIllard Wigan stuff (Google it). Here is a sample (yes, in the eye of a sawing needle):

The eye doctor made me some fixed focus glasses that are a bit closer than readers, 12 inches instead of 16. They work well.

Stacked glasses ...... 

Ditto, the kind of cheap reading glasses that can be bought at a Walgreens-type store. The magnification lettering has rubbed off mine, but the granny-glasses version lets me focus on parts around 6 inches from my nose, and the wider larger lens one lets me see things clearly 8 inches away. Worn in combination, which is not uncomfortable at all, I can focus 4 inches away. Allows me to work on things like multi-piece fuel pumps.
