Hobby Tools - Purchase and Review for Head Magnifier Glasses with LED lights

LED Illuminated Headband Magnifier Visor

So, since my eyes have been steadily getting worse over the past couple of years, it has been affecting my Hobby, especially my painting.

I tried some stand-alone magnifying lenses that sit on stands, and those seem to work okay, but they were limited as the stands were smaller, and it was limited on where I could use them.

So I researched online and came across this wearable Magnifier Visor, and I thought it was the perfect fit.  I purchased it from Amazon, and here is the link if you want to check them out yourself.

Here are the stats about the Magnifier:

• USB Charging Magnifying Glasses: If you are still complaining that your existing head magnifier glasses are too heavy. Upgraded Magnifier, using electric board to store electricity instead of traditional battery storage. More light and comfortable trial experience.
• Lasting & Efficient Working Hours: Comes with convenient USB charging interface, no need to replace the battery and can be charged directly, just fill it up in an hour! One hour of charging time provides up to 8 hours of working time for rechargeable batteries.
• 5 Interchangeable Lenses: Multi choices of lenses(1.0X/1.5X/2.0X/2.5X/3.5X) to meet your different requirements. Best handsfree magnifying glasses for close work such as sewing, needlework, knitting, cross-stitch, embroidery, etc. 5 High clarity optical acrylic lenses packed in a box for easy carry and storage.
• More Comfortable to Wear: Ergonomic frame design and the bracket feet can be removed and changed to an elastic band. The nose bridge holder can be adjusted according to your needs. Efficient rechargeable batteries and soft rubber-coated nose pads can greatly reduce the load on the bridge of the nose.
• Adjustable LED Glass Lamp: Lighted magnifying glasses for reading, seeing your workpieces or text magnified up to 350% original size with high clarity. 100% quality GUARANTEE means you can free replace the new one or 100% money back.

I love the fact that you can easily interchange between the different lenses without much hassle, and I also love the fact that it's rechargeable, and I don't have to keep buying batteries like I had to with my other magnifiers on stands.

Another fact that I love about these, is the fact about being hands-free.  I am able to use them and leave them on, and when I have to look at other stuff, I can easily see over the lenses and don't have to keep taking them off and on.

I highly recommend these, as they have given me the ability to get back into painting.

Until next time, keep on Hobbying.

DIY Terrain Build - Tutor Farm House

As a change of pace from building and painting miniatures for all my games, I decided it was time to get some terrain made again.

It's been a long time since I built some terrain, and it was really fun to sit down and just build something from scratch with no plans.

I have hills, rivers, fences, etc. for my table, but I do not have any buildings that I could use for games such as Middle-Earth Strategy Battle Game, Warhammer 40K, or even for Bolt Action.  Since lately, I have been in the mood to paint my Middle-Earth models, I decided to start off creating a building for that style of game.

So for my first building, I decided to create a little Tutor Farm House.  Below are the images for the steps I took, I did not take a lot of photos of every step but caught the major ones, lol.  :)

Materials All laid out ready to start work, and yes I'm messy.

Walls cut out, glued up and roof added on.  Used cardboard from

a small box for the roof and I backed each wall with a piece of

cardboard the same size as the dollar tree foam board is pretty

flimsy when you peel the paper off.

I cut out individual small bricks for the foundation, and

created a door with a brick frame.

Foundation complete, and ready to start adding the wood

exterior and then the roof.

Wood accents around the building are complete, and now to

start the roof.  I cut our individual shingles for the roof using

the cardboard from a cereal box.

The roof is now complete and I really like how the wood accents

turned out.  I cut out each wood plank from the foam, and

peeled the backing off one side of the foam, and used a sharp

object to create the wood grain.

Here is another look at the completed building, this time from

the backside of the building.

The next steps are to get this all painted up. I still have not decided if I want to put it on a base or not, with flocking, etc.  I really like ho this turned out, and I feel not too bad for my first attempt at a building like this.  One thing I know I did a little wrong, is the door is a little bit too big for this house and will make that correction on the next one.

Until next time, happy gaming!!!!!
