new year

I think we're down to about 3 regulars and 4 or 5 like me who post infrequently. I miss the good old days of lively arguments (I mean, discussions) here on RMS...

I think we are quite a few that feels like you guys have all the hints and tips to do things right. Speaking just for myself I'm reading and trying to learn. A totally different issue is that when you guys are posting pictures I can't see them. The reason is that the pictures are usally posted in some binary group and most ISP's in DK does not carry binary groups.

Oh, by the way I do like to read what is written in this group :-)

You are not missing anything. The alt.binaries.model.scale group (ABMS) is pretty much dead. 35 messages since 12/6/11, the last 33 were binary pics of a model show ones on 11/20/11. The other 2 consisted of an OT crack file and a response to it on 11/6 and 11/7.

IRRC Rufus did use bin group to post the pictures of his sub build. Before my ISP stopped carrying these groups I did see some of his pics :-)

...and I had meant to get back to my U-boat and do some etch and metal work over the break...but I went to my bench and discovered that I better not touch a model until I get a new set of glasses!

Et tu, Brute,-? Hint: Latin :-)

Get a magnifying hood. I have one with 3 different magnifications and side mounted lights. I wear my everyday Rx glasses under it. Much cheaper than buying a new Rx pair of glasses. :-) This is mine;

I've tried those - they absolutely destroy my depth perception and I can't line anything up using them.

Besides, my problem is astigmatism...it's edges that get fuzzy for me. Even if I could stand magnifiers I'd still need a new set of lenses in my glasses...I'm way overdue, even for just walking around in the world.

Oops. My wife too. I've walked away from my modeling forgetting that I had it on until my wife reminded me. Besides, it helps keep some of the information in my brain from leaking out. :-)

I'll most likely be getting a new pair this year since the ones I have now are around 15 years old. I'll have to wait until after the surgery on my eyelid. I have this pea-sized growth that needs to come off. I'm tired of the watering that the thing induces.
